DOMMatrixReadOnly: isIdentity property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨January 2020⁩.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The readonly isIdentity property of the DOMMatrixReadOnly interface is a Boolean whose value is true if the matrix is the identity matrix.

The identity matrix is one in which every value is 0 except those on the main diagonal from top-left to bottom-right corner (in other words, where the offsets in each direction are equal).

Value

A Boolean value.

Examples

// Initialize a 2D matrix
const matrix = new DOMMatrix(); // create a matrix
console.log(matrix.isIdentity); // output: true

// Apply a transform that has no effect
console.log(matrix.translate(0).isIdentity); // output: true

// Apply a transform with effect: this rotates the matrix by 30deg
console.log(matrix.rotate(30).isIdentity); // output: false
