Frame

class compas.geometry.Frame(point, xaxis, yaxis)[source]

Bases: compas.geometry.primitives._primitive.Primitive

A frame is defined by a base point and two orthonormal base vectors.

Parameters

point (point) – The origin of the frame.
xaxis (vector) – The x-axis of the frame.
yaxis (vector) – The y-axis of the frame.

Attributes

data (dict) – The data representation of the frame.
point (compas.geometry.Point) – The base point of the frame.
xaxis (compas.geometry.Vector) – The local X axis of the frame.
yaxis (compas.geometry.Vector) – The local Y axis of the frame.
zaxis (compas.geometry.Vector) – The local Z axis of the frame.
normal (compas.geometry.Vector) – The normal vector of the base plane of the frame.
quaternion (compas.geometry.Quaternion) – The quaternion representing the rotation of the frame.
axis_angle_vector (compas.geometry.Vector) – The rotation vector of the frame.

Notes

All input vectors are orthonormalized when creating a frame, with the first vector as starting point.

Examples

>>> from compas.geometry import Point
>>> from compas.geometry import Vector
>>> f = Frame([0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0])
>>> f = Frame(Point(0, 0, 0), Vector(1, 0, 0), Vector(0, 1, 0))
