precess_mat#
- diffsims.utils.kinematic_simulation_utils.precess_mat(alpha, theta)[source]#
Generates rotation matrices for precession curves.
- Parameters:
- alphafloat
Angle (in degrees) of precession tilt
- thetafloat
Angle (in degrees) along precession curve
- Returns:
- Rnumpy.ndarray [float], (3, 3)
Rotation matrix associated to the tilt of alpha away from the vertical axis and a rotation of theta about the vertical axis.
