Foil 78 Rotation Field - II

From VRML 2 Basic Concepts and Definitions CPS616 -- Information Track of CPS -- Spring Semester 97. by Zeynep Ozdemir(Geoffrey C. Fox)
1 For example to rotate along the X-axis use 1.0 0.0 0.0,
  • or up along the Y axis use 0.0 1.0 0.0,
  • and out along the Z-axis use 0.0 0.0 1.0
2 (Assuming that center is 0.0 0.0 0.0) this defines the rotation axis.
3 The last value in the rotation field specifies the rotation angle in terms of radians.
4 The rotation center can be specified by changing the center field of the Transform node.
