TransformChangeBasis Method (Plane, Plane)

Gets a change of basis transformation. The change of basis transformation is not the same as the rotation transformation that rotates one orthonormal frame to another. If you have geometry defined with respect to planes, this method takes two planes and computes the transformation to change coordinates from one plane to another.

Namespace:  Rhino.Geometry
Assembly:  RhinoCommon (in RhinoCommon.dll)
Since: 5.0
Syntax
Copy
public static Transform ChangeBasis(
	Plane plane0,
	Plane plane1
)

Parameters

plane0
Type: Rhino.GeometryPlane
Coordinate system in which the geometry is currently described.
plane1
Type: Rhino.GeometryPlane
Target coordinate system in which we want the geometry to be described.

Return Value

Type: Transform
A change of basis transformation if success, on failure.
Remarks
Change of basis transformations and rotation transformations are often confused. This is a change of basis transformation. If Q = P0 + a0*X0 + b0*Y0 + c0*Z0 = P1 + a1*X1 + b1*Y1 + c1*Z1, then this transform will map the point (a0,b0,c0) to (a1,b1,c1).
