The

kPreTransf0rm

space corresponds to

M=I

Because the matrix is the identity matrix, no transformation is applied. The

kTransform

space depends on whether the operation is being done to the transforms scale, rotation,

or translation. If it is a scale operation, the

kTransform

space corresponds to

M = SCALE

This is the space after the scaling has been applied. If it is a rotation operation, the

kTransf0rm

space corresponds to

M = SCALE * ROTATION

This is the space after the scaling and rotation have been applied but before the

translation. If it is a translation operation, the kTransform ...
