Add a slant to a homogeneous 2D transformation matrix.

hom_mat2d_slant adds a slant by the angle Theta to the homogeneous 2D transformation matrix HomMat2D and returns the resulting matrix in HomMat2DSlant. A slant is an affine transformation in which one coordinate axis remains fixed, while the other coordinate axis is rotated counterclockwise by an angle Theta. The parameter Axis determines which coordinate axis is slanted. For Axis = 'x', the x-axis is slanted and the y-axis remains fixed, while for Axis = 'y' the y-axis is slanted and the x-axis remains fixed. The slanting is performed relative to the global (i.e., fixed) coordinate system; this corresponds to the following chains of transformation matrices:

                               / cos(Theta) 0 0 \
  Axis = 'x':  HomMat2DSlant = | sin(Theta) 1 0 | * HomMat2D
                               \    0       0 1 /

                               / 1 -sin(Theta) 0 \
  Axis = 'y':  HomMat2DSlant = | 0  cos(Theta) 0 | * HomMat2D
                               \ 0     0       1 /

The point (Px,Py) is the fixed point of the transformation, i.e., this point remains unchanged when transformed using HomMat2DSlant. To obtain this behavior, first a translation is added to the input transformation matrix that moves the fixed point onto the origin of the global coordinate system. Then, the slant is added, and finally a translation that moves the fixed point back to its original position. This corresponds to the following chain of transformations for Axis = 'x':

                  / 1 0 +Px \   / cos(Theta) 0 0 \   / 1 0 -Px \ 
  HomMat2DSlant = | 0 1 +Py | * | sin(Theta) 1 0 | * | 0 1 -Py | * HomMat2D
                  \ 0 0  1  /   \    0       0 1 /   \ 0 0  1  /   

Note that homogeneous matrices are stored row-by-row as a tuple; the last row is not stored because it is identical for all homogeneous matrices that describe an affine transformation. For example, the homogeneous matrix

    / ra rb tc \
    | rd re tf |
    \ 0  0  1  /

is stored as the tuple [ra, rb, tc, rd, re, tf].

If the parameters are valid, the operator hom_mat2d_slant returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE). If necessary, an exception is raised.

hom_mat2d_slant is reentrant and processed without parallelization.
