Mambo Toolbox Functions - MakeRotations

MakeRotations(erms)

MakeRotations([erms1], ..., [ermsn])

MakeRotations(rm)

The function MakeRotations returns a rotation matrix as specified by its arguments.

An elementary rotation-matrix specification comes in one of two forms, namely

phi,i: where phi is an algebraic expression and i equals 1, 2, or 3. This corresponds to a rotation by an angle phi about the i-th basis vector.
phi,v1,v2,v3: where phi, v1, v2, and v3 are algebraic expressions. This corresponds to a rotation by an angle phi about the vector whose coordinates equal v1, v2, and v3.

When invoked with multiple elementary rotation-matrix specifications, the MakeRotations procedure returns the matrix product of the individual rotation matrices specified by each of the elementary rotation-matrix specifications.

MakeRotations(phi,1);
