get_matrix3d_rot_frm()[source]

Return the conversion matrix of the vector components.

Let us think a fixed vector. The vector is expressed by components of the original frame (x, y, z). Then, the frame (x, y, z) is rotated to (X, Y, Z) according to the Euler angles. The fixed vector is expressed by components of (X, Y, Z). The obtained matrix, R, shows the relation of

$\begin{split}\left(\begin{array}{c} X \\ Y \\ Z \end{array}\right) = R\cdot \left(\begin{array}{c} x \\ y \\ z \end{array}\right)\end{split}$
Returns

(3, 3) shaped np.array, R

get_matrix3d_rot_vec()[source]

Return the rotation matrix for the vector.

Let us think a vector in the original system, (x, y, z). The vector is rotated according to the Euler angles. The rotated vector is expressed in the original frame $$(x', y', z')$$.

The obtained matrix, M, exhibids the relation of

$\begin{split}\left(\begin{array}{c} x' \\ y' \\ z' \end{array}\right) = M\cdot \left(\begin{array}{c} x \\ y \\ z \end{array}\right)\end{split}$
Returns
