+### Matrix Transform
+
+The `matrix` transform accepts a 4x4 transformation matrix as an array of 16 numbers. This allows you to apply complex transformations that combine translation, rotation, scaling, and skewing in a single operation.
+
+The matrix is specified in column-major order:
+
+```js
+{
+  transform: [
+    {
+      matrix: [
+        scaleX,
+        skewY,
+        0,
+        0,
+        skewX,
+        scaleY,
+        0,
+        0,
+        0,
+        0,
+        1,
+        0,
+        translateX,
+        translateY,
+        0,
+        1,
+      ],
+    },
+  ];
+}
+```
+
+For example, to apply a combination of scale and skew:
+
+```js
+{
+  transform: [
+    {
+      matrix: [
+        1, 0.5, 0, 0, 0.5, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1,
+      ],
+    },
+  ];
+}
+```
+
+:::note
+Matrix transforms are useful when you need to apply pre-calculated transformation matrices, such as those from animation libraries or when building UI editor applications. For basic transformations, it's recommended to use the individual transform properties (scale, rotate, translate, etc.) as they are more readable.
