factorRigidWithSignedScale Method
Test if the instance is the product of a rigid matrix and a signed scale, and return both.
- Specifically, this is a test of whether the instance rows and columns are pairwise perpendicular and have equal length. If so, the scale factor is this length, or its negative if the instance is a mirror, and dividing the columns by this scale factor produces a rigid matrix (a rotation).
factorRigidWithSignedScale(result?: Matrix3d): undefined | { rigidAxes: Matrix3d, scale: number }
@returns the factorization { rigidAxes, scale } where rigidAxes is the instance matrix with scale factor
removed, or undefined if the factorization failed.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Matrix3d | optional pre-allocated object to populate and return |
Returns - undefined | { rigidAxes: Matrix3d, scale: number }
the factorization { rigidAxes, scale } where rigidAxes is the instance matrix with scale factor
removed, or undefined if the factorization failed.
