#[repr(C)]
pub struct Mat4 {
    pub x_axis: Vec4,
    pub y_axis: Vec4,
    pub z_axis: Vec4,
    pub w_axis: Vec4,
}

A 4x4 column major matrix.

This 4x4 matrix type features convenience methods for creating and using affine transforms and perspective projections. If you are primarily dealing with 3D affine transformations considering using Affine3A which is faster than a 4x4 matrix for some affine operations.

Affine transformations including 3D translation, rotation and scale can be created using methods such as Self::from_translation(), Self::from_quat(), Self::from_scale() and Self::from_scale_rotation_translation().

Orthographic projections can be created using the methods Self::orthographic_lh() for left-handed coordinate systems and Self::orthographic_rh() for right-handed systems. The resulting matrix is also an affine transformation.

The Self::transform_point3() and Self::transform_vector3() convenience methods are provided for performing affine transformations on 3D vectors and points. These multiply 3D inputs as 4D vectors with an implicit w value of 1 for points and 0 for vectors respectively. These methods assume that Self contains a valid affine transform.

Perspective projections can be created using methods such as Self::perspective_lh(), Self::perspective_infinite_lh() and Self::perspective_infinite_reverse_lh() for left-handed co-ordinate systems and Self::perspective_rh(), Self::perspective_infinite_rh() and Self::perspective_infinite_reverse_rh() for right-handed co-ordinate systems.

The resulting perspective project can be use to transform 3D vectors as points with perspective correction using the Self::project_point3() convenience method.
