## Detailed Description

Used to perform transforms on meshes

The QTransform component is not shareable between multiple QEntity's. The transformation is held as QVector3D scale, QQuaternion rotation and QVector3D translation components. The transformations are applied to the mesh in that order. When QTransform::matrix property is set, it is decomposed to these transform components and corresponding signals are emitted.

Several helper functions are provided to set up the QTransform; fromAxisAndAngle and fromAxesAndAngles can be used to set the rotation around specific axes, fromEulerAngles can be used to set the rotation based on euler angles and rotateAround can be used to rotate the object around specific point relative to local origin.

## Property Documentation

### matrix : QMatrix4x4

Holds the QMatrix4x4 of the transform.

Note: When the matrix property is set, it is decomposed to translation, rotation and scale components.

Access functions:

QMatrix4x4 | matrix() const
void | setMatrix(const QMatrix4x4 &matrix)

Notifier signal:

void | matrixChanged()

### rotation : QQuaternion

Holds the rotation of the transform as QQuaternion.

Access functions:

QQuaternion | rotation() const
void | setRotation(const QQuaternion &rotation)

Notifier signal:

void | rotationChanged(const QQuaternion &rotation)

### rotationX : float

Holds the x rotation of the transform as Euler angle.

Access functions:

float | rotationX() const
void | setRotationX(float rotationX)

Notifier signal:

void | rotationXChanged(float rotationX)

### rotationY : float

Holds the y rotation of the transform as Euler angle.

Access functions:

float | rotationY() const

Holds the z rotation of the transform as Euler angle.

Access functions:

float | rotationZ() const
void | setRotationZ(float rotationZ)

Notifier signal:

### scale3D : QVector3D

Holds the scale of the transform as QVector3D.

Access functions:

QVector3D | scale3D() const
void | setScale3D(const QVector3D &scale)

Notifier signal:
