SHOWMATS nged BRL-CAD BRL-CAD User Commands
showmats Lists the transformation matrices encountered along the specified path and also lists the accumulated matrix at the end of the path.
`showmats` -a path

## DESCRIPTION

Lists the transformation matrices encountered along the specified path and also lists the accumulated matrix at the end of the path. If any member occurs more than once in a combination along the path, then a matrix will be listed for each occurrence of that member, and the accumulated matrix will only use the first occurrence. The -a option can be used to return the accumulated matrix as a space delineated list with 6 significant digits (as opposed to the default 3). Related commands are `putmat`, `copymat`, and `listeval`.

## EXAMPLES

The example shows the use of the `showmats` command to list the transformation matrices along the specified path and the accumulated matrix for the entire path.

List the transformation matrices along a path and the accumulated matrix for the path.

mged> `showmats head/skull/jaw`

Lists the transformation matrices along the path head/skull/jaw and the accumulated matrix for the entire path.
