  ### Returns:

  A transformation object
gears.matrix:invert ()
  Invert this matrix

  ### Returns:

  A new matrix describing the inverse transformation.
gears.matrix:multiply (other)
  Multiply this matrix with another matrix. The resulting matrix describes a transformation that is equivalent to first applying this transformation and then the transformation from `other`. Note that this function can also be called by directly multiplicating two matrix instances: `a * b == a:multiply(b)`.
  - other gears.matrix or cairo.Matrix The other matrix to multiply with.

  ### Returns:

  The multiplication result.
gears.matrix:equals (other)
  Check if two matrices are equal. Note that this function cal also be called by directly comparing two matrix instances: `a == b`.
  - other gears.matrix or cairo.Matrix The matrix to compare with.

  ### Returns:

  True if this and the other matrix are equal.
gears.matrix:tostring ()
  Get a string representation of this matrix

  ### Returns:

  A string showing this matrix in column form.
gears.matrix:transform_distance (x, y)
  Transform a distance by this matrix. The difference to matrix:transform_point is that the translation part of this matrix is ignored.
  - x number The x coordinate of the point.
  - y number The y coordinate of the point.

  ### Returns:

  1. number The x coordinate of the transformed point.
  2. number The x coordinate of the transformed point.
gears.matrix:transform_point (x, y)
  Transform a point by this matrix.
  - x number The x coordinate of the point.
