ORI_MIRROR

Returns an orientation by performing a mirroring of the given orientations that reflect the specified axes.

Format

ORI_MIRROR (Body Fixed 313 Angles, Frame Object, Plane Name, Axes Name)

Arguments

 
Body Fixed 313 Angles
Array of body-fixed 313 Euler rotation sequences, expressed in a coordinate system object.
Frame Object
Coordinate system object that defines the plane of reflection.
Plane Name
Character string selecting one of three planes in the coordinate system object.
The only possible values are: xy, yx, xz, zx, yz, and zy (character case is insignificant). Character order is insignificant; that is, xy is the same as yx.
Axes Name
Character string indicating which axes to mirror.
The only possible values are: xy, yx, xz, zx, yz, and zy (character case is insignificant). Character order is insignificant; that is, xy is the same as yx.

Example

In the following illustration, the ORI_MIRROR function returns an orientation, as specified:
 
Function
ORI_MIRROR({{10,8,0}}, marker_1, “xy”, “xy”)
Result
190, 8, 180
 
Note:  
Because complete mirroring would change the right-handedness of the mirrored coordinate system object, only partial mirroring is possible. To perform partial mirroring, you must choose two axes to be mirrored, with the remaining axis pointing in the direction required to maintain a right-handed system.
