Calling Sequence

RotationMatrix(t, v)

Parameters

t

-

rotation angle

v

-

(optional) Vector; axis of the rotation

Description

• 

The RotationMatrix(t) command returns the  rotation Matrix corresponding to the angle t, measured in radians.

• 

The RotationMatrix(t,v) command returns the  rotation Matrix corresponding to the angle t, where the rotation axis is given by v.  The direction of rotation is determined by using the right-hand rule with respect to v.

Examples

(1)

Rotation about the y-axis in three-dimensional space:

(2)

Rotation about an oblique vector in three-dimensional space:

(3)
