# localTransformForJointName:

Returns the local transform for a joint with a given name.

```
- (simd_float4x4) localTransformForJointName:(ARSkeletonJointName) jointName;
```

## Discussion

Local space refers to the joints position relative to its parent joint. If an invalid joint name is passed the returned matrix will be filled with `NaN` values.
