a reference frame - an identity, a basis and a default plotting convention
A reference frame answers "what coordinate system is this data expressed in". It carries an identity (a name like 'measurement' or 'rolling' or a mineral), the basis vectors of the frame in canonical Euclidean coordinates, and the default plotting convention used to draw data of this frame on screen. The transition between two frames is computed by transformationMatrix.
See docs/adr/0003-reference-frame-vs-symmetry.md for the model: crystalSymmetry and specimenSymmetry keep their public API and delegate their frame data (axes, how2plot) to a frame they hold.
Syntax
rf = referenceFrame(basis)
rf = referenceFrame(basis,'name','measurement')Input
| basis | 1x3 vector3d, the basis vectors, not necessarily normalized |
Class Properties
| name | identity of the frame: 'measurement', 'rolling', a mineral, ... |
| basis | 1x3 vector3d in canonical coordinates, lengths are meaningful |
| how2plot | the default plottingConvention of this frame |
