Description

Translation Transformation

This block multiplies an input homogeneous transformation matrix by a translation matrix. The block can be configured to have either a fixed or variable translation by double clicking on the block and setting the appropriate parameters. The homogeneous translation matrix is as follows:

  output = [1 0 0 x
            0 1 0 y
            0 0 1 z
            0 0 0 1];

where x, y, and z are the translation relative to the current frame. The input homogeneous transformation matrix is post-multiplied by this matrix.

Input Ports

4x4

This input takes the previous output from a homogeneous transformation block. If there are no prior transformation blocks then this input must be driven by a Identity Transformation block.

vec

If the block is configured to drive the translation externally, then this port will be visible. The input should be a 3 element vector defining the translation relative to the current frame.

Output Ports

4x4

Outputs a 4x4 tranformation matrix.

Parameters and Dialog Box

Translation Transformation

Source of translation vector

Selects between internal and external sources for the translation vector. If internal is selected, set the vector in the Translation field. If external is selected, you can connect a 3 element vector to the input port.

Translation

Sets the translation to the fixed value entered in this field if the Source of translation vector is set to use the internal input.
