the Z component of the transformed point is ignored, and the X and Y
components are correctly divided by W (unless W is <= 0),

Hello.
I'm wanting to draw a polygon around a layer. I want the polygon to
be 1 pixel wide regardless of the transformations applied to the
layer. As such a border/borderWidth solution won't work because
it'll be scaled if the layer is scaled. So I've computed the scaled
and rotated coordinates of said layer by walking up the layer tree
and applying the affine transforms top-down to each of the four
points making up the original rectangle of the layer. This gives me
what I want - until I do rotation with sublayerTransforms.
In an ideal world I'd like to know if there is also a way to apply a
CATransform3D to a point.
For example, in order to compute the translation, scale and
rotation(z) of a given point from the original rectangle I need do
only:
point = CGPointApplyAffineTransform(point, [layer affineTransform]);
However there doesn't seem to be an equivalent function for
CATransform3D transforms.
Any suggestions? I've spent the entire day reading about
perspective transformations and projections (lots of matrix math).
I'm happy (as happy as someone that's not done this stuff for many
years can be) to go down this path if it's absolutely required, but
was wondering if anyone knew of a simpler way (rather than
reinventing the wheel) of applying the same (or close enough -
similar) math that CA/OpenGL is applying to the sublayerTransform a
matrix.
To be clear, I'm talking specifically about computing the final
value of a point in a layer given that I've set the m34 field of
the sublayerTransform in order to achieve a perspective effect (ala:
CovertFlow).
