rotateZ

Rotate shape about z-axis by angle

Syntax

rotateZ(shape,angle)

c = rotateZ(shape,angle)

Description

rotateZ(shape,angle) rotates the shape about z-axis by an angle and plots the resultant shape.

c = rotateZ(shape,angle) rotates the shape about z-axis by an angle and returns a shape object.

Examples

Create and Rotate Rectangle Using Specified Properties

Create and view a rectangle with a length of 2 m and a width of 4 m.

r2 = antenna.Rectangle(Length=2,Width=4);
show(r2)
axis equal

Rotate the rectangle.

rotateZ(r2,45);

show(r2)
