Syntax

% rotate about the x-axis
grains = rotate(grains,rotation.byAxisAngle(xvector,180*degree))

% rotate about a specific point
grains = rotate(grains,rotation.byAxisAngle(xvector,180*degree) ...
  ,'center',vector3d(0,0,0))

Input

`grains`	`grain3d`
`rot`	`rotation`

Output

grains grain3d

Options

center vector3d, center of rotation, default is (0,0,0)

Flags

`keepXY`	`rotate only the orientation data, i.e. the Euler angles`
`keepEuler`	`rotate only the spatial data, i.e., the x,y, and z values`
