rotate operation

Syntax

rotate(mode, coordSystem, xAngle, yAngle, zAngle)

Parameters

• mode (selector)

  abs, rel

  Absolute or relative mode. Absolute means the angles are set to the given value, relative means the angles are added.

• coordSystem (selector)

  scope, pivot, object, world

  Name of the coordinate system in which the following angles are given.

• xAngle, yAngle, zAngle (float)
  Angles in degrees to rotate about each axis.

Description

The rotate operation rotates the scope around the scope origin. The angles can be defined in any coordinate system, and the rotation can either be absolute (= set the angles) or relative (= add the angles). This operation manipulates the scope orientation (scope.r attribute).

Examples

Set scope orientation to world coordinate system angles

Init --> extrude(10) t('0.2, 0, '0.3) s('0.5, '1, '0.5) rotate(abs, world, 0, 90, 0) Using the absolute mode, the scope orientation can be set to an orientation relative to the world origin.
