BioTrajectory (version 1.1.0)

tangentVectors: Calculate the tangent cectors of a trajectory object

Description

This function calculates the unit tangent vectors at each point of the trajectory represented by a `trajectory` object. The tangent vectors are computed by taking the difference between consecutive points and normalizing them to have unit length.

Usage

tangentVectors(obj)

Value

A matrix where each row is a unit tangent vector corresponding to each pair of consecutive points in `obj$points`.

Arguments

obj

An object of class `trajectory` that contains a component `points`.
