| A 2×3 matrix representing a 2D transformation. | |||
| </brief_description> | |||
| <description> | |||
| A 2×3 matrix (2 rows, 3 columns) used for 2D linear transformations. It can represent transformations such as translation, rotation, and scaling. It consists of three [Vector2] values: [member x], [member y], and the [member origin]. | |||
| The [Transform2D] built-in [Variant] type is a 2×3 [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(mathematics)]matrix[/url] representing a transformation in 2D space. It contains three [Vector2] values: [member x], [member y], and [member origin]. Together, they can represent translation, rotation, scale, and skew. | |||
| The [member x] and [member y] axes form a 2×2 matrix, known as the transform's [b]basis[/b]. The length of each axis ([method Vector2.length]) influences the transform's scale, while the direction of all axes influence the rotation. Usually, both axes are perpendicular to one another. However, when you rotate one axis individually, the transform becomes skewed. Applying a skewed transform to a 2D sprite will make the sprite appear distorted. | |||

Alternative take which resembles Basis's equivalent description:

| The [Transform2D]'s basis is composed by 2 axis vectors, each representing a column of the matrix: [member x] and [member y]. The length of each axis ([method Vector2.length]) influences the basis's scale, while the direction of all axes influence the rotation. Usually, these axes are perpendicular to one another. However, when you rotate any axis individually, the basis becomes skewed. Applying a skewed basis to a 2D sprite will make the sprite appear distorted. | |

Continuation of #87334 but on the 2D side.
This PR aims to overhaul the Transform2D type's documentation.
The reasoning and changelog are extremely similar to the "Overhaul Basis documentation" PR, so I'm not sure I should bother repeating them twice.
A lot of wording is ripped straight from Transform3D and Basis's descriptions, with a few exceptions:
basis_xform_invwas reworded quite a bit because it was very, very awkward.
