62_other_transformation_matrices: Other Transformation Matrices

Description

Convenience function for a set of circular rotations.

Usage

eq.arot2 (n, …, start=0)
eq.brot2 (n, …, start=0)

Arguments

n

Integer, the number of distinct points.

start

Numeric, giving the starting angle in radians.

…

Ignored.

Value

A MatrixArray of 3x3 rotation matrices.

Details

These functions are wrappers for arot2 and brot2.

They compute a vector of equally-spaced theta values, around a circle. Then construct the transformation matrices using the theta values.

This can be used to create polygons.

Note that swapping functions, reverses the direction of rotation. (e.g. Changing eq.arot2 to eq.brot2).
