Programmatically taper, distort or change perspective

[pointer]

I read senocular's Transformation Matrix tutorial, and I need more insight. Look at the image at the link below (from senocular's tutorial). Is it possible to get the transformation that the image indicates is not doable?

Essentially, I am trying to use the transformation matrix to get the shape on the far right (the one with the "no" symbol).

Here is the image:

Hi,

Not sure if it is possible with a transformation matrix, but there are custom classes that can get the effect you are looking for, as discussed in this thread:

With the 2D 3x3 matrix... nope.

By splitting it into tris and doing it, yes.

By using the 3D 4x4 matrix, yes. This option only avialable in FP10 and CS4.
