Group (Subgroup)¶

OrientationAnalysis (Utilities)

Description¶

This Filter is a Utility that allows the user to compute alternate representations of an orientation based on a another representation. The supported representations are:

Euler Angles
Axis Angle
Cubochoric
Homochoric
Orientation Matrix
Quaternion
Rodrigues

To use the utility, simply drag the filter into the pipeline area and start entering values for a representation. The other representations will be instantly calculated as shown in figure 1 below. The Axis-Angle and Rodrigues vectors are automatically normalized for the user.

Figure 1: Orientation Utility where the user has entered an Axis-Angle representation.

If the user enters invalid values for a representation, an error message will be displayed and all input fields will be marked with the NaN symbol as show in figure 2 below.

Figure 2: User has entered an out of range angle for the Axis-Angle pair.
