Description
Examples
RotatoryReflection(Q, P, p, theta, l)
Q
-
the name of the object to be created
P
geometric object
p
plane of reflection
theta
angle of rotation
l
the axis of rotation
A rotatory-reflection is the product of a reflection in a plane and a rotation about a fixed axis perpendicular to the plane.
For a detailed description of Q (the object created), use the routine detail (i.e., detail(Q))
The command with(geom3d,RotatoryReflection) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
