Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, RLplot, is designed to plot a series of rotations along the z-axis using Euler angles. It is part of the SG-Library and was created by Tim Lueth. The function takes in two parameters: RL and an optional VL.
Input Parameters
- RL: This is the Euler Angle Rotation List. It contains the rotation angles that will be applied to the plot.
- VL: This is an optional parameter. It can be a vertex list or a distance between points. If not provided, it defaults to 10.
Algorithm Steps
- The function checks if the
VL parameter is provided. If it is not provided or is empty, it defaults to 10.
- The number of rotations,
ni, is determined by the number of rows in the RL matrix.
- The function iterates over each rotation in the
RL list.
- For each rotation, it calculates the transformation using the
TofPEul function, which takes a position vector and the current rotation angles.
- The
tplot function is then called to plot the transformation, with the length parameter set to half of VL.
Example
An example of using this function is provided in the comments:
RL = RLofEulerInterpolation(5, [0 0 0], [pi 0 0]);
RLplot(RL);
This example creates a rotation list using RLofEulerInterpolation and then plots it using RLplot.
