Matte

This example displays a simple text matte. A matte is analagous to a stencil. In this example, the word "Matte" acts as the stencil, and an image (a SolidColorImage) with a time-varying color is clipped to fit it. An animated matte is also demonstrated. This uses a variety of transforms, including translation, rotation, shearing, and scaling. To see what each of these do, comment out all the transforms but one.
