# multiply(by:preBias:postBias:destination:) Multiplies each four channel pixel in a 32-bit multiple-plane pixel buffer by a 4 x 4 matrix to produce a four channel result. ``` func multiply(by matrix: Matrix, preBias: [Float], postBias: [Float], destination: vImage.PixelBuffer) where Matrix : AccelerateBuffer, DestFormat : MultiplePlanePixelFormat, Matrix.Element == Float, DestFormat.ComponentType == Float ``` ## Parameters `matrix` The 4 x 4 multiplication matrix values in row-major order. `preBias` Values that the function adds to the source before multiplication. `postBias` A value that the function adds to the result after multiplication. `destination` The destination pixel buffer. ## Discussion This function applies the following operation to each pixel: ```swift p = (source.0 + preBias.0) * matrix.0 + (source.1 + preBias.1) * matrix.1 + (source.2 + preBias.2) * matrix.2 + (source.3 + preBias.3) * matrix.3 destination = (p + postBias) ``` --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
