SMC_Frame (STRUCT)

 

TYPE SMC_Frame : STRUCT

A frame represents a coordinate system given by the orientation of the axes and and origin vector. The representation of the coordinate system is always expressed relative to a base coordinate system.

Another interpretation of a frame is the unique transformation between the base coordinate system B and the represented coordinate system F, a map from B to F given by F(v) = mR * v + vT.

mR

SMC_Matrix3

The orientation of the axes. Each column is a unit vector describing the direction of a coordinate axis of F, expressed in base coordinates.

vT

SMC_Vector3D

The offset of the origin in base coordinates.
