A method of orientationRegion.

the largest rotation angle inside the region, at a vertex of it in Rodrigues space, or about a given axis

Syntax

omega = oR.maxAngle()

The largest angle in the region.

omega = oR.maxAngle(vector3d(1, 1, 1))

The largest angle about an axis.

Description

Without an axis the angle is found exactly at the vertices of the region in Rodrigues space; only a region whose sector of axes has caps is sampled, by random rotations until hits of them fall inside. About an axis it is the least angle at which a bound is met, 0 for an axis outside the region’s sector of axes, where MATLAB first projects the axis into the sector.

Input

oR orientationRegion
v vector3d, a single rotation axis

Keywords

keyword default description
hits 2000 the number of random rotations inside the region the sampling waits for

Output

omega the angle in radians
