Image Composite Matrix

Apply composite transformation by combining multiple basic transformations (scaling, rotation, shearing). See how transformation matrices multiply and create complex effects.

Quick start

Call this tool from your code in three languages.

cURL

# 1) Upload each file first → returns { filePath }
curl -X POST 'https://api.elysiatools.com/upload/image-composite-matrix' \
  -F 'file=@/path/to/imageFile.ext'

# 2) Call the tool with the returned filePath values
curl -X POST 'https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/image-composite-matrix' \
  -F 'imageFile=/path/to/file.ext' \
  -F 'scaleX=1.0' \
  -F 'scaleY=1.0' \
  -F 'angle=0' \
  -F 'shearX=0' \
  -F 'shearY=0' \
  -F 'transformOrder=scale-rotate-shear' \
  -F 'background=transparent' \
  -F 'format=original' \
  -F 'quality=95'

API reference

Send a POST request with your inputs as JSON. File parameters require a separate upload first.

Endpoint

HTTP

POST https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/image-composite-matrix

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
imageFile	fileupload required	Yes	Upload any image file (JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF) for composite matrix transformation
scaleX	range	Yes	Horizontal scaling factor (0.1 to 3.0, 1.0 = original size)
scaleY	range	Yes	Vertical scaling factor (0.1 to 3.0, 1.0 = original size)
angle	range	Yes	Rotation angle in degrees (-180 to 180, 0 = no rotation)
shearX	range	Yes	Horizontal shear factor (-1.5 to 1.5, 0 = no shear)
shearY	range	Yes	Vertical shear factor (-1.5 to 1.5, 0 = no shear)
transformOrder	select	Yes	Order in which transformations are applied (right-to-left multiplication)
background	text	No	Background color for transparent areas (hex #RRGGBB or #RRGGBBAA, or color name)
format	select	No	Choose output format or keep original. PNG recommended for transparency
quality	number	No	Output quality for lossy formats (JPEG, WebP). Higher = better quality but larger file size

File-type parameters must be uploaded first via POST /upload/image-composite-matrix, then the returned filePath is passed to the corresponding file field.

MCP integration

Add this tool to your Model Context Protocol server so AI agents can list and call it.

Server configuration

Add this block to your MCP client configuration:

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elysiatools-image-composite-matrix": {
      "name": "image-composite-matrix",
      "description": "Apply composite transformation by combining multiple basic transformations (scaling, rotation, shearing). See how transformation matrices multiply and create complex effects.",
      "baseUrl": "https://api.elysiatools.com/mcp/sse?toolId=image-composite-matrix",
      "command": "",
      "args": [],
      "env": {},
      "isActive": true,
      "type": "sse"
    }
  }
}

List available tools

After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:

tools/list

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/list"
}

Call this tool

Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "image-composite-matrix",
    "arguments": {
  "imageFile": "https://example.com/file.ext",
  "scaleX": "1.0",
  "scaleY": "1.0",
  "angle": "0",
  "shearX": "0",
  "shearY": "0",
  "transformOrder": "scale-rotate-shear",
  "background": "transparent",
  "format": "original",
  "quality": 95
}
  }
}

Chain multiple tools in one session with a comma-separated toolId list, e.g. /mcp/sse?toolId=png-to-webp,jpg-to-webp,gif-to-webp (max 20).

File parameters accept a public file URL only (https://…). Local paths, data: URIs, and Base64 strings are not supported.
