Re: [Openexr-devel] OpenEXR 1.2.2 and Imath::TMatrix

[Drew Hess]

Hi Drew,

Thanks for the appreciative words.  We have no plans to re-introduce
TMatrix to Imath at this time.  If you like the class and would like
to see it further developed, I encourage you to take it and create
your own open source project around it.  I'm sure others would find it
useful, too.
