weldx.transformations.LocalCoordinateSystem¶

class weldx.transformations.LocalCoordinateSystem(orientation=None, coordinates=None, time=None, time_ref=None, construction_checks=True)¶

Defines a local cartesian coordinate system in 3d.

Notes

Learn how to use this class by reading the Tutorial.

Construct a cartesian coordinate system.

Parameters

orientation (Union[DataArray, ndarray, List[List], Rotation, None]) – Matrix of 3 orthogonal column vectors which represent the coordinate systems orientation. Keep in mind, that the columns of the corresponding orientation matrix is equal to the normalized orientation vectors. So each orthogonal transformation matrix can also be provided as orientation. Passing a scipy.spatial.transform.Rotation object is also supported.
coordinates (Union[DataArray, ndarray, List, None]) – Coordinates of the origin
time (Union[DatetimeIndex, TimedeltaIndex, Quantity, None]) – Time data for time dependent coordinate systems
time_ref (Optional[Timestamp]) – Reference Timestamp to use if time is Timedelta or pint.Quantity.
construction_checks (bool) – If ‘True’, the validity of the data will be verified
