.translate(), .rotate(), .scale() will alter the current transformation matrix.

const { PI } = Math;
const { log } = console;

// degrees
function deg(x) { return PI * x / 180 }

// draw on canvas
drawOnCanvas2D('#playground', (ctx) => {

    const rect = [0, 0, 80, 80];

    // tranform and draw square 
    function transform(hue, trans){
        // transform current transformation matrix if necessary
        if (trans) trans(ctx);
        // log current transformation matrix
        const {a,b,c,d,e,f} = ctx.getTransform();
        log([a,b,c,d,e,f]);
        // draw rect with specified hue
        ctx.fillStyle = `hsl(${hue} 80% 50% / 0.8)`;
        ctx.fillRect(...rect);
        ctx.strokeRect(...rect);
    }

    // original square
    transform(0);

    // translate
    transform(30, (ctx) => ctx.translate(110, 30));

    // rotate
    transform(60, (ctx) => ctx.rotate(deg(60)));

    // dilate (scale)
    transform(90, (ctx) => ctx.scale(.5, .5));

    // freeform transform
    transform(180, (ctx) => ctx.transform(1, .5, .5, 1, 0, 0));
