Purpose & Params

The purpose of the make function is to initiate a coordinate transformation. As input, the function takes an origin vector. For rotation, the function takes a quaternion.

Example

    x,y,z      = 1,2,3                    # Define origin coordinate 
    radians    = np.pi * 0.5              # Define the orientation
    axis       = np.array([1,1,0])        # Define the axis of rotation
    r          = vec3.make(x,y,z)         # Define the origin vector
    q          = quat.Ru(radians, axis)   # Define the quaternion
    coordsys   = cs.make(r,q)             # make the coordinate transformtation
