compute_axes_from_z
List of: Functions
Subjects: Work Coordinate Systems
Contents: Kernel

Action: Determines two orthogonal vectors to define a coordinate system, given a SPAunit_vector.

Prototype: void compute_axes_from_z (


const SPAunit_vector& z_axis,// given vector


SPAunit_vector& x_axis,
// first orthogonal





// vector returned


SPAunit_vector& y_axis
// second orthogonal





// vector returned


);
