Bases: Command

Add a transformation to a reference frame defined in the datamodel

Given the reference frame to add to the transform to, the type of transform to be added, and any required information for the transformation, add the transformation to the referenceFrame. Not all parameters are required for every transformation.

The name of the transformation will be based on the type of transformation. The name will be of the form <transformation_type>-# where # is the first positive integer which yields a unique frame name.

The transformation will also be added to the end of the transformation_order list for the reference frame.

Returns the name of the transformation.

Parameters:

reference_framestr

Name of the reference frame to which the transformation will be added.

transformation_typestr

Type of transformation to be added. Available options are Rotation or Translation

Required Parameters for Transformation Types:

Rotation: angle, axis, vector (if axis is “UserDefined”) Translation: vector

anglereal, optional

Angle to rotate a reference frame. Used with Rotation transformation_type. Default unit is Radians.

axisstr, optional

Axis about which a rotation is applied. Used with Rotation transformation_type. Available options are: “XAxis”, “YAxis”, “ZAxis”, and “UserDefined”.

vectorTuple, optional

A vector for use with Translation transformation_type or Rotation transformation_type if the axis is “UserDefined”.
