# gl-mat4 [![stable](http://badges.github.io/stability-badges/dist/stable.svg)](http://github.com/badges/stability-badges)

Part of a fork of [@toji](http://github.com/toji)'s
[gl-matrix](http://github.com/toji/gl-matrix) split into smaller pieces: this
package contains `glMatrix.mat4`.

## Usage

[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/gl-mat4.png)](https://nodei.co/npm/gl-mat4/)

### `mat4 = require('gl-mat4')`

Will load all of the module's functionality and expose it on a single
object. Note that any of the methods may also be required directly
from their files.

For example, the following are equivalent:

``` javascript
var scale = require('gl-mat4').scale
var scale = require('gl-mat4/scale')
```

## adjoint(out:mat4, a:mat4)

  Calculates the adjugate of a mat4

## clone(a:mat4)

  Creates a new mat4 initialized with values from an existing matrix

## copy(out:mat4, a:mat4)

  Copy the values from one mat4 to another

## create()

  Creates a new identity mat4

## determinant(a:mat4)

  Calculates the determinant of a mat4

## fromQuat(out:mat4, q:quat4)

  Creates a matrix from a quaternion rotation.

## fromRotationTranslation(out:mat4, q:quat4, v:vec3)

  Creates a matrix from a quaternion rotation and vector translation
  This is equivalent to (but much faster than):
  
```js
  mat4.identity(dest);
  mat4.translate(dest, vec);
  var quatMat = mat4.create();
  quat4.toMat4(quat, quatMat);
  mat4.multiply(dest, quatMat);
```

## multiply(out:mat4, a:mat4, b:mat4)

  Multiplies two mat4's

## ortho(out:mat4, left:number, right:number, bottom:number, top:number, near:number, far:number)
