Type of rotation to perform.
Name | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Passive and Intrinsic | 0 | The rotation occurs about the axes of a rotating coordinate system, which is initially aligned with the fixed one, and modifies its orientation after each elemental rotation. The coordinate system rotates, while the coordinate is fixed. |
Passive and Extrinsic | 1 | The rotation occurs about the axes of a fixed coordinate system. The coordinate system rotates, while the coordinate is fixed. |
Active | 2 | The rotation occurs about the axes of the same coordinate system. The coordinate system is fixed, while the coordinate rotates. |
Default: Passive and Intrinsic
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
Default: No error
A 3-by-3 direction cosine matrix.
If rotation type is Passive and Intrinsic or Passive and Extrinsic, the matrix maps points in the old coordinate frame to points in the new coordinate frame. If rotation type is Active, the matrix maps the coordinates of the original points to the coordinates of the rotated points. Each element must be in the range of [-1, 1].

Direction cosines and Euler angles are two different ways of expressing a rotation. The following equations describe how this node converts Euler angles into direction cosines:
Let Rx(α), Ry(α), and Rz(α) be the rotation matrices of rotating the coordinate system by α angles about the x-, y-, and z-axes, respectively. Rx(α), Ry(α), and Rz(α) are defined as follows:
This node calculates direction cosines using the following equations:
