Coordinate Transformation Conversion

Input transformation, specified as a coordinate transformation. The following representations are supported:

All vectors must be column vectors.

To accommodate representations that only contain position or orientation information (TrVec or Eul, for example), you can specify two inputs or outputs to handle all transformation information. When you select the Homogeneous Transformation as an input or output, the optional Show TrVec input port or Show TrVec output port parameters can be selected on the block mask to toggle the multiple ports.

Translation vector, specified as a 3-element column vector, [x y z], which corresponds to a translation in the x, y, and z axes respectively. This port can be used to input or output the translation information separately from the rotation vector.

Dependencies

You must select Homogeneous Transformation for the output Representation parameter to get the option to show the additional TrVec input port. Enable the port by clicking Show TrVec input port.

Output transformation, returned as a coordinate transformation with the specified representation. The following representations are supported:

To accommodate representations that only contain position or orientation information (TrVec or Eul, for example), you can specify two inputs or outputs to handle all transformation information. When you select Homogeneous Transformation as an input or output, the optional Show TrVec input port or Show TrVec output port parameters can be selected on the block mask to toggle the multiple ports.

Translation vector, returned as a three-element column vector, [x y z], which corresponds to a translation in the x, y, and z axes respectively. This port can be used to input or output the translation information separately from the rotation vector.

Dependencies

You must select Homogeneous Transformation for the input Representation parameter to get the option to show the additional TrVec output port. Enable the port by clicking Show TrVec output port.

Select the representation for the input port for the block. If you are using a transformation with only orientation information, you can also select the Show TrVec input port or Show TrVec output port when converting to or from a homogeneous transformation.

Order of the Euler angle axis rotations, specified as one of these string scalars:

The order of the angles in the input port Eul must match this rotation sequence. Each character indicates the corresponding axis. For example, if the sequence is ZYX, then the three specified Euler angles are interpreted in order as a rotation around the z-axis, a rotation around the y-axis, and a rotation around the x-axis. When applying this rotation to a point, it will apply the axis rotations in the order x, then y, then z.

Dependencies

You must select Euler Angles for the input Representation parameter. The axis rotation sequence only applies to Euler angle rotations.

Toggle the TrVec input port when you want to specify a separate translation vector for position information along with an orientation representation.
