In This Topic

Computes a change of basis transformation.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function ChangeBasis( _
   ByVal P0 As Point3D, _
   ByVal X0 As Vector3D, _
   ByVal Y0 As Vector3D, _
   ByVal Z0 As Vector3D, _
   ByVal P1 As Point3D, _
   ByVal X1 As Vector3D, _
   ByVal Y1 As Vector3D, _
   ByVal Z1 As Vector3D _
) As Boolean

public bool ChangeBasis( 
   Point3D P0,
   Vector3D X0,
   Vector3D Y0,
   Vector3D Z0,
   Point3D P1,
   Vector3D X1,
   Vector3D Y1,
   Vector3D Z1
)

Parameters

P0: Initial frame center
X0: Initial frame X (X,Y,Z = arbitrary basis)
Y0: Initial frame Y
Z0: Initial frame Z
P1: Final frame center
X1: Final frame X (X,Y,Z = arbitrary basis)
Y1: Final frame Y
Z1: Final frame Z

Return Value

True if the operation succeeded, false otherwise.

Remarks

Change of basis transformations and rotation transformations are often confused. This is a change of basis transformation. If Q = P0 + a0*X0 + b0*Y0 + c0*Z0 = P1 + a1*X1 + b1*Y1 + c1*Z1 then this transform will map the point (a0,b0,c0) to (a1,b1,c1)
