ORI_ALL_AXES
Returns a body-fixed 313 Euler sequence describing an orientation in which the first axis of a coordinate system object is parallel to, and co-directed with, a line defined by the first two points in a plane, and its second axis is parallel to the plane.
Format
ORI_ALL_AXES (Plane Point Locations, Axes Names)
Arguments
 
3x3 matrix providing three non-colinear points describing a plane. The points are expressed in the global coordinate system.
xy, yx, xz, zx, yz, and zy are the only possible values (character case is insignificant). Also, since each value defines a distinct orientation, xy is not the same as yx.
Examples
In the following illustration, the ORI_ALL_AXES function returns a body-fixed 313 Euler sequence describing an orientation, as specified.
