Foil 82 Rotation Field - II

From VRML 2 Basic Concepts and Definitions CPS616 -- Information Track of CPS -- Spring Semester 98. by Zeynep Ozdemir, Rob Baker, Meryem Ispirli, Geoffrey C. Fox
Transform Definition and Rotation Example for Foil 82(Definition and Example)
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
(Assuming that center is 0.0 0.0 0.0) this defines the rotation axis.
The last value in the rotation field specifies the rotation angle in terms of radians.
The rotation center can be specified by changing the center field of the Transform node.
