rotation_aligning_vectors

rotation_aligning_vectors(initial_vector, target_vector=[1, 0, 0], convention=None)

Compute the rotation matrix or Euler angles required to align an initial vector with a target vector.

Parameters:

initial_vectorNDArray

The initial vector to be rotated.

target_vectorNDArray, optional

The target vector to align the initial vector with. Default is [1, 0, 0].

conventionstr, optional

The generate euler angles in degrees. If None returns a rotation matrix instead.

Returns:

rotation_matrix_or_anglesNDArray or tuple

Rotation matrix if convention is None else tuple of euler angles.
