RotatoryReflection

  

find the rotatory-reflection of a geometric object.

 

Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

RotatoryReflection(Q, P, p, theta, l)

Parameters

Q

-

the name of the object to be created

P

-

geometric object

p

-

plane of reflection

theta

-

angle of rotation

l

-

the axis of rotation

Description

• 

A rotatory-reflection is the product of a reflection in a plane and a rotation about a fixed axis perpendicular to the plane.

• 

For a detailed description of Q (the object created), use the routine detail (i.e., detail(Q))

• 

The command with(geom3d,RotatoryReflection) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
