class cloudComPy.ccGLMatrixParams1_double

Bases: pybind11_object

Equivalent parameters of a ccGLMatrix transformation: a rotation axis, an angle and a translation.

Variables
  • alpha_rad (float) – rotation angle in radians (in [0;pi])

  • axis3D (tuple) – unit rotation axis

  • t3D (tuple) – translation
