frame3Point()

Synopsis

Defines a coordinate system using three points . Returns a frame with origin as the origin, the X+ axis along the vector from origin to xloc, and the Y+ axis from origin to yloc.

Frames define coordinate systems. There is a transformation matrix associated with a frame, which transforms geometry defined in the "world" coordinate system to the local coordinate system.

Syntax

frame3Point ( origin1 As Point, _
              xloc As Point, _
              yloc As Point ) As Frame 
Argument Type Description
origin1 Point Origin of the frame
xloc Point Vector from origin1 to this point defines positive X direction
yloc Point Vector from origin1 to this point defines positive Y direction
