Misleading Documentation - Matrix4

[miguelriemoliveira]

The description for the Matrix4 in the online documentation says:

"

Every Object3D has three associated Matrix4s:
Object3D.matrix: This stores the local transform of the object.
Object3D.matrixWorld: The global or world transform of the object. This is the object's transformation relative to its parent. If the object has no parent, then this is identical to the local transform.
"

Perhaps I am misunderstanding something, but the matrixWorld should store the object's transformation relative to the world. Thus the sentence "This is the object's transformation relative to its parent" seems incorrect.

I would guess this sentence was written to the matrix . I think that's the proper description for the matrix, not for the matrixWorld.

Am I getting it all wrong or is this just a typo in the documentation?

PS: Thanks for making THREEJS such a great tool

Good find! Indeed, the sentence This is the object's transformation relative to its parent. is wrong there. It belongs to matrix. Would you like to correct the description? 😊

You mean with a pull request? I can try to do that.

[Mugen87]

Yes please 👍

You can also use the "Edit" feature of github.

Made a mistake and did a pull request to my own fork first. Now its correct - a pull request is open to fix this one.
