% Computes a unit vector offset from v2 with origin at v1. It creates a random coordinate system with v2-v1 as the +z axis. cone is the angle from +z clock is the angle from +x in the xy-plane. This function is useful for creating a set of vectors but because the orientation of x and y is random you cannot externally specify the clock angle definition. Type UnitVectorFromOffset for a demo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forms: u = UnitVectorFromOffset u = UnitVectorFromOffset( v1, v2, cone ) u = UnitVectorFromOffset( v1, v2, cone, clock ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ v1 (3,1) Origin v2 (3,1) Vector from which the offset is calcuated cone (1,1) Cone angle of the offset clock (1,1) Clock angle of the offset ------- Outputs ------- u (3,1) Unit vector with offset --------------------------------------------------------------------------
