# append(_:)

Appends the specified matrix to the receiver’s matrix.

```
func append(_ transform: AffineTransform)
```

## Parameters

`transform`

The matrix to append to the receiver.

## Discussion

This method multiplies the receiver’s matrix by the matrix in `aTransform` and replaces the receiver’s matrix with the results. This type of operation is the same as applying the transformations in the receiver followed by the transformations in `aTransform`.
