matrix_from_basis_vectors

compas.geometry.matrix_from_basis_vectors(xaxis, yaxis)

Creates a rotation matrix from basis vectors (= orthonormal vectors).

Parameters

• xaxis (list of float) – The x-axis of the frame.

• yaxis (list of float) – The y-axis of the frame.

Returns

list of list of float – A 4x4 transformation matrix representing a rotation.

Examples

>>> xaxis = [0.68, 0.68, 0.27]
>>> yaxis = [-0.67, 0.73, -0.15]
>>> R = matrix_from_basis_vectors(xaxis, yaxis)
