## Detailed Description

Describes a 3D transform.

Unlike graphene_matrix_t, Gsk::Transform retains the steps in how a transform was constructed, and allows inspecting them. It is modeled after the way CSS describes transforms.

Gsk::Transform objects are immutable and cannot be changed after creation. This means code can safely expose them as properties of objects without having to worry about others changing them.

This transform scales points in X and Y based on their Z value, scaling points with positive Z values away from the origin, and those with negative Z values towards the origin. Points on the z=0 plane are unchanged.

Returns
  The new transform.
