Owning Palette: Mathematics VIs

Use the Geometry VIs to manipulate coordinates and angles.

The VIs on this palette can return mathematics error codes.

Palette Object	Description
2D Cartesian Coordinate Rotation	Rotates a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate in the counterclockwise direction. The data type you wire to the X input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
2D Cartesian Coordinate Shift	Shifts two-dimensional Cartesian coordinates along the x- and y-axes. The data type you wire to the X input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
3D Cartesian Coordinate Rotation (Direction)	Rotates a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate in the counterclockwise direction using the direction cosines method. The data type you wire to the X input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
3D Cartesian Coordinate Rotation (Euler)	Rotates a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate in the counterclockwise direction using the Euler angles method. The data type you wire to the X input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
3D Cartesian Coordinate Shift	Shifts three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates along the x-, y-, and z-axes. The data type you wire to the X input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
3D Coordinate Conversion	Converts coordinates between the Cartesian, spherical, and cylindrical coordinate systems. The data type you wire to the Axis 1 input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
Direction Cosines To Euler Angles	Converts a 3-by-3 matrix of direction cosines into Euler angles.
Euler Angles To Direction Cosines	Converts Euler angles into a 3-by-3 matrix of direction cosines.
