SLA_AV2M - Rotation Matrix from Axial Vector +   +

+
+
ACTION: +
Form the rotation matrix corresponding to a given axial vector +(single precision). +

CALL: +
CALL sla_AV2M (AXVEC, RMAT) +

+

+
GIVEN: +
+
+ + + + + +
AXVECR(3)axial vector (radians)
+

+
RETURNED: +
+
+ + + + + +
RMATR(3,3)rotation matrix
+

+
NOTES: +
+
1. +
A rotation matrix describes a rotation about some arbitrary axis. +The axis is called the Euler axis, and the angle through which the +reference frame rotates is called the Euler angle. The axial + vector supplied to this routine has the same direction as the + Euler axis, and its magnitude is the Euler angle in radians. +
2. +
If AXVEC is null, the unit matrix is returned. +
3. +
The reference frame rotates clockwise as seen looking along + the axial vector from the origin. +
