Method Details

### __init__ (self, alt_attitude=0, tilt=0, yaw=0, roll=0, name='') (Constructor) |
New Attitude. Arguments: `alt_attitude` - An altitude (`meter`) above earth or an attitude (Attitude or Attitude4Tuple) with the `altitude`, `tilt`, `yaw` and `roll`. `tilt` - Pitch, elevation from horizontal (`degrees180`), negative down (clockwise rotation along and around the x- or East axis). `yaw` - Bearing, heading (compass `degrees360`), clockwise from North (counter-clockwise rotation along and around the z- or Up axis). `roll` - Roll, bank (`degrees180`), positive to the right and down (clockwise rotation along and around the y- or North axis). `name` - Optional name `str`). Raises: `AttitudeError` - Invalid `alt_attitude`, `tilt`, `yaw` or `roll`. Overrides: object.__init__ See Also: Principal axes and Yaw, pitch, and roll rotations.

### rotate (self, x_xyz, y=None, z=None, Vector=None, **Vector_kwds) |
Transform a (local) cartesian by this attitude's matrix. Arguments: `x_xyz` - X component of vector (`scalar`) or (3-D) vector (`Cartesian`, Vector3d or Vector3Tuple). `y` - Y component of vector (`scalar`), same units as `x`. `z` - Z component of vector (`scalar`), same units as `x`. `Vector` - Class to return transformed point (`Cartesian`, Vector3d or `Vector3Tuple`) or `None`. `Vector_kwds` - Optional, additional `Vector` keyword arguments, ignored if `Vector is None`. Returns: A `Vector` instance or a Vector3Tuple`(x, y, z)` if `Vector=None`. See Also: Yaw, pitch, and roll rotations.

### toStr (self, prec=6, sep=', ', **unused) |
Format this attitude as string. Arguments: `prec` - The `float` precision, number of decimal digits (0..9). Trailing zero decimals are stripped for `prec` values of 1 and above, but kept for negative `prec` values. `sep` - Separator to join (`str`). Returns: This attitude (`str`). Overrides: named._Named.toStr
