  @moduledoc """
  Helper functions for working with matrices.

  The matrix format for the main `Scenic.Math.Matrix` functions is a 64 byte
  binary blob containing 16 4-byte floats. This is great for doing the math in
  code, but not so great for reading or understanding the values by a human.

  These functions transform more readable/writable formats into the binary blob
  and vice versa.
