In scimesh: Headless Publication-Quality 3D Mesh Rendering Engine

Rotate a mesh around an axis

Description

Rotate a mesh around an axis

Usage

rotate_mesh(mesh, angle_rad, axis = c(0, 0, 1))

Arguments

mesh	A mesh descriptor list.
angle_rad	Rotation angle in radians.
axis	Length-3 numeric vector defining the rotation axis.

Value

A new mesh descriptor list with rotated vertices.

Examples

mesh <- generate_cuboid(c(0, 0, 0), c(1, 1, 1))
rotated <- rotate_mesh(mesh, pi / 4, axis = c(0, 1, 0))
rotated$vertices[1, ]
