Transformations operations

Function	Description
scaleFormation	Changes the scale of the formation
translateFormation	The formation as whole changes its position
rotateFormation	Rotates the formation around an axis

Swarm.scaleFormation(sx, sy, sz)

• Parameters:

  • sx: int or float Set the x scale factor

  • sy: int or float Set the y scale factor

  • sz: int or float Set the z scale factor

• Result: The dimensions of the formation will change, according to the scale selected, some demonstrations are displayed here.

Swarm.translateFormation(tx, ty, tz)

• Parameters:

  • tx: int or float Set the distance to move in x

  • ty: int or float Set the distance to move in y

  • tz: int or float Set the distance to move in z

• Result: The formation will translate in the selected distance, the Transformations section has deeper details.

Swarm.rotateFormation(anglex_deg, angley_deg, anglez_deg)

• Parameters:

  • anglex_deg: int or float Set the rotation angle in degrees for the x-axis

  • angley_deg: int or float Set the rotation angle in degrees for the y-axis

  • anglez_deg: int or float Set the rotation angle in degrees for the z-axis

• Result: The formation will rotate in the selected axis, to see more information about this operation, check the Transformations section.
