Chapter 276: MotionPathPlugin.getGlobalMatrix()

Core Idea

Returns the Matrix2D that converts an element's local coordinates into global (viewport) coordinates — e.g. apply({x:0,y:0}) gives that element's top-left corner in viewport space.

Reference Tables

Parameter	Type	Description
element	Element	must be a real element reference, not a selector
inverse	Boolean (optional)	return the inverse transformation instead
adjustGOffset	Boolean (optional)	ignore <g> elements' quirky offset behavior

Returns: Matrix2D.
