%OA2R Convert orientation and approach vectors to rotation matrix % % R = OA2R(O, A) is a rotation matrix for the specified orientation and % approach vectors (3x1) formed from 3 vectors such that R = [N O A] and % N = O x A. % % Notes:: % - The submatrix is guaranteed to be orthonormal so long as O and A % are not parallel. % - The vectors O and A are parallel to the Y- and Z-axes of the coordinate % frame. % % See also RPY2R, EUL2R, OA2TR. % Copyright (C) 1993-2011, by Peter I.
