This is used only when working with two-dimensional homogeneous coordinates, which is why the `translation` parameter is a `Vector2`. **Signature:** ```typescript static fromTranslation(translation: Vector2): Matrix3; ``` ## Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
translation	[Vector2](./server.vector2.md)	The translation of the matrix.

**Returns:** [Matrix3](./server.matrix3.md) A new `Matrix3` instance.
