Rotation matrix pivot point

[kiryha 38]

The rotation of each point occurs around the origin:

matrix3 matrx = ident();
vector axis = {1, 0, 0};
float angle = 256;

rotate ( matrx, angle, axis); 
@P *= matrx; 

How to define coordinates for rotation different from the origin?

[kiryha 38]

I found the answer:

matrix3 matrx = ident();
vector axis = {1, 0, 0};
float angle = 256;

rotate ( matrx, angle, axis);

vector pivot = {0, 0.8, 0};
@P = (@P - pivot) * matrx + pivot;

 But I can`t understand how it`s working, why this line `(@P - pivot) * matrx + pivot` puts pivot of rotation to a required point?

It's like you translate the points at origin with pivot as center (@P - pivot), then rotate (* matrix) and replace at the pivot position (+ pivot)

its a bit more readable like this.

@P -= pivot;
@P *= matrix;
@P += pivot;
