Description#

Pushes the current transformation matrix onto the matrix stack. Understanding push_matrix() and Py5Graphics.pop_matrix() requires understanding the concept of a matrix stack. The push_matrix() function saves the current coordinate system to the stack and Py5Graphics.pop_matrix() restores the prior coordinate system. push_matrix() and Py5Graphics.pop_matrix() are used in conjuction with the other transformation functions and may be embedded to control the scope of the transformations.

This method can be used as a context manager to ensure that Py5Graphics.pop_matrix() always gets called, as shown in the example.

This method is the same as push_matrix() but linked to a Py5Graphics object. To see example code for how it can be used, see push_matrix().

Underlying Processing method: PGraphics.pushMatrix
