/**
 * Defines a 4 x 4 floating point matrix representing a 3D transformation.
 *
 * Vectors are treated as columns, resulting in a matrix that is represented as follows,
 * where x, y and z are the translation components of the matrix:
 *
 *     1  0  0  x
 *     0  1  0  y
 *     0  0  1  z
 *     0  0  0  1
 *
 * This matrix class is directly compatible with OpenGL since its elements are
 * laid out in memory exactly as they are expected by OpenGL.
 * The matrix uses column-major format such that array indices increase down column first.
 * Since matrix multiplication is not commutative, multiplication must be done in the
 * correct order when combining transformations. Suppose we have a translation
 * matrix T and a rotation matrix R. To first rotate an object around the origin
 * and then translate it, you would multiply the two matrices as TR.
 *
 * Likewise, to first translate the object and then rotate it, you would do RT.
 * So generally, matrices must be multiplied in the reverse order in which you
 * want the transformations to take place (this also applies to
 * the scale, rotate, and translate methods below; these methods are convenience
 * methods for post-multiplying by a matrix representing a scale, rotation, or translation).
 *
 * In the case of repeated local transformations (i.e. rotate around the Z-axis by 0.76 radians,
 * then translate by 2.1 along the X-axis, then ...), it is better to use the Transform class
 * (which is optimized for that kind of usage).
 *
