I can find various specialized functions for image transformations in typst (rotate, skew, scale, etc.). Exists there some possibility (packages included, but I was unable to find anything on Universe) to use a transformation matrix on image-like 2D objects?
One of my current projects will extract images from PDF’s using pymupdf. This also returns this kind of matrix, describing the transformation that was originally used to place the image inside the pdf. I would like use this information to place the image in an associated typst document without doing some non-trivial matrix decomposition.
I’m afraid that’s the only way so far.
The support for transformation matrices has been proposed in Suggestions for improvements to core drawing functionality · Issue #4123 · typst/typst · GitHub in May 2024, but it looks like that there has been no real work on it.
(Besides, image("file.pdf") might be helpful.)
