NAME

CAD::Drawing::Manipulate::Transform - Matrix methods for CAD::Drawing

DESCRIPTION

Provides 3D transformation methods (based on traditional matrix algorithms) for Drawing.pm objects.

Coordinate System

All of these methods assume a RIGHT-HANDED coordinate system. If you are using a left-handed coordinate system, you are going to have trouble, trouble, trouble. We aren't making video games here!

Methods

Transform

$drw->Transform($addr, \%opts);

Options:

normal_ready => [@normal_vec]  # no-questions-asked normal vector input

Non-OO Functions

build_matrix

Builds a linear transformation matrix according to %opts;

$mat = build_matrix(%opts);
Options:
LTM => $ltm                  # pass-through for pre-built matrices
R   => [$rX, $rY, $rZ]       # rotation about each axis
T   => [$tX, $tY, $tZ]       # translation along each axis
S   => [$sX, $sY, $sZ]       # scaling along each axis
Units:

Scaling is in decimal (e.g. $sX = 0.9 will scale by 90%)

NewMat

Calls Math::MatrixReal->new_from_rows([@_]) see Math::MatrixReal for methods which can be applied to the returned object.

$mat = NewMat(@rows);

transform_pt

Applies matrix multiplication to linearly transform @pt by $mat. This eliminates the tedium of making new matrices just to multiply one point.

@pt = transform_pt(\@pt, $mat);

rotation_matrices

Returns a list of matrices corresponding to ($rX, $rY, $rZ)

Rotation is in ccw radians about each axis (right-hand rule) except that they may be specified in degrees with $angle . "d"

@rotations = rotation_matrices($rX, $rY, $rZ);

Resulting matrix will perform rotations in Z,Y,X order.

translation_matrix

Builds a linear transformation tranlation matrix from @trans, where @trans = ($trX, $trY, $trZ).

$mat = translation_matrix(@trans);

scaling_matrix

Builds a linear tranformation matrix from @scales, where @scales = ($sX, $sY, $sZ).

$mat = scaling_matrix(@scales);
