DeviationVectorsGenerator

class compas_fab.robots.DeviationVectorsGenerator

Bases: object

Calculates equally distributed vectors that deviate from the specified one by a maximal angle of max_alpha.

Parameters:

axiscompas.geometry.Vector

The axis about which to calculate vectors.

max_alphafloat

The maximum angle in radians that a vector should deviate from the axis.

stepint

The number of how often to divide max_angle.

Yields:

list of compas.geometry.Vector

Examples

>>> generator = DeviationVectorsGenerator((0, 0, -1), math.radians(120), 1)
>>> [print(zaxis) for zaxis in generator]
