angle: Misorientation Angle

In heike/rotations: Tools for working with rotational data

Description

Find the misorientation angle of a rotation

Usage

  angle(Rs)

  ## S3 method for class 'SO3'
 angle(Rs)

  ## S3 method for class 'Q4'
 angle(Qs)

Arguments

Rs	rotation matrix

Details

Every rotation can be thought of as some reference coordinate system rotated about an axis through an angle. These quantites are referred to as the misorientation axis and misorientation angle, respectively, in the material sciences literature. This function returns the misorentation angle associated with a rotation assuming the reference coordinate system is the identity.

Value

angle of rotation
