transform¶

class guerilla.transform¶

Bases: object

A transform is a set of matrices placed in time at inter-frames

addmatrix(source, time)¶

Add a matrix and its time at the end of the transform

Parameters:	source (matrix) – the matrix to add time (number) – the time associated

compose(right)¶

Right compose by another transform. The result may be inccaurate if the final number of matrices is above 6.

Parameters:	right (transform) – the transform to compose on the right

copy(*args)¶

copy a transform into this transform

Available arguments:

Parameters:	source (transform) – the source transform
Return type:	transform

or

Parameters:	source (matrix) – the source matrix
Return type:	transform

createcompose(first, second)¶

Create the compose transform of first times second

Parameters:	first (matrix or transform) – the first matrix|transform second (matrix or transform) – the second matrix|transform
Return type:	transform

createinverted()¶

Create the transform inserse

Return type:	transform

getmatrix(n)¶

return the nth matrix of the transform

Parameters:	n (int) – Matrix number to return
Return type:	matrix

getstepcount()¶

Return the number of steps in this transform

gettime(index)¶

Get the transform time at index

Parameters:	index (int) – the index in the transform
Return type:	number

invert()¶

Invert the transform

isidentity()¶

Returns true if the transform is identity

Returns:	True when the transform is identity
Return type:	bool

serialstring()¶

Returns a Lua evaluable string to create this object

setmatrix(source, index)¶

Set the matrix by its index

Parameters:	source (matrix) – the matrix to set index (int) – the index in the transform

setscale(scale)¶

Force the scale of the transform

Parameters:	scale (point3 or number) – the scale factor to apply

setscaleafter(scale)¶

Force the scale of the transform after the rotation component of the transform

Parameters:	scale (point3 or number) – the scale factor to apply

settime(index, time)¶

Set the transform time at index

Parameters:	index (int) – the index in the transform time (number) – the time to set

symetric(*args)¶

Compute the symetric of this transform by a plane defined by a point and a normal vector

Available arguments:

Parameters:	P (point3) – The symetry plane point u (point3) – The symetry plane normal vector
Returns:	The resulting symetric transform
Return type:	transform

or

Parameters:	s (transform) – The symetry plane tranform axis (str) – The axis of the symetry transform to use as symetry plane normal (“x”, “y” or “z”)
Returns:	The resulting symetric transform
Return type:	transform

transform(source, func)¶

Copy the transform and apply a function on each matrix of the copy.

This method copies the transform and apply a user function on each of the matrices of the copied transform. The user function takes one matrix as argument, and modifies directly this matrix.

Parameters:	source (transform) – the transform to transform func (function) – the user function to apply on each matrix of the transform
Returns:	The resulting transform
Return type:	transform

translate(translation)¶

Translate a transform, all matrices are translated

Parameters:	translation (point3) – the translation
