How can I apply an SVGMatrix to an array of points?

Question

Are there built-in libraries to multiply a vector of points by an SVGMatrix?

I have an SVG drawing that has been scaled, and I want to annotate that drawing in its origi

The svg element has methods from creating matrix objects and point objects. The matrix object has methods for matrix operations (e.g. multiply, translate, scale, etc). The point object has method to apply matrix transform.

For example...

var svg = document.getElementById("mySvg");
var matrix1 = svg.createSVGMatrix();
var matrix2 = matrix1.translate(2, 3);
var point1 = svg.createSVGPoint();
point1.x = 1;
point1.y = 1;
var point2 = point1.matrixTransform(matrix2);

Documentation for the matrix and point objects can be found at...
