set_poi_conv_minus: Set POI sign convention for mass properties list to "-"

In massProps: Calculate Mass Properties and Uncertainties of Tree Structures

Set POI sign convention for mass properties list to "-"

Description

set_poi_conv_minus() sets the products of inertia sign convention for a mass properties list to "-". This convention determines how products of inertia are saved to a data set.

The signature of set_poi_conv_minus() is such that it can be passed as an override argument to update_mass_props() and update_mass_props_and_unc(), thus ensuring that calculated POI values are saved using the negative integral convention.

Usage

set_poi_conv_minus(ds, target, mp)

Arguments

ds	Ignored.
target	Ignored.
mp	A mass properties list.

Value

The mass properties list with the named element poi_conv set to "-"

Examples

set_poi_conv_minus(NULL, NULL, get_mass_props(mp_table, "C.1.2.2.3.2.1.1"))
