Represents the "Matrix" entry of the type 1 pattern dictionary
object.
It is an optional entry defined as part of the PDF 1.0
specification.
It contains an array which contains doubles, representing PDF
numeric objects.
For definitive details see:.
The ISO PDF Specification, ISO 32000-1:2008 PDF 1.7; Table: 75,
page 175.
The ISO PDF
Specification, ISO 32000-2:2017 PDF 2.0; Table: 74, page 219.
The Matrix maps pattern space to the default user space of the
context in which the pattern is used. This transformation can
rotate, scale, translate, or shear the pattern without changing its
content stream.
When absent, the identity matrix is used, meaning pattern space
coincides with user space. Specifying a matrix allows the same
pattern to be applied at different orientations and scales.
