sw_cartesian

Syntax

[vy, vz, vx] = sw_cartesian(n)

V = sw_cartesian(n)

Description

[vy, vz, vx] = sw_cartesian(n) creates an $(x,y,z)$ right handed Cartesian coordinate system with $v_x$, $v_y$ and $v_z$ defining the basis vectors.

V = sw_cartesian(n) the generated basis vectors are stored in the V matrix: V = [vx vy vz] as column vectors.

Input Arguments

n

Either a 3 element row/column vector or a $[3\times 3]$ matrix with columns defining 3 vectors.

Output Arguments

vy,vz,vx

Vectors defining the right handed coordinate system. They are either column of row vectors depending on the shape of the input n.
