scipy.spatial.transform.Rotation.
create_group#
- classmethod Rotation.create_group(cls, group, axis='Z')#
- Create a 3D rotation group. - Parameters:
- groupstring
- The name of the group. Must be one of ‘I’, ‘O’, ‘T’, ‘Dn’, ‘Cn’, where n is a positive integer. The groups are: - I: Icosahedral group 
- O: Octahedral group 
- T: Tetrahedral group 
- D: Dicyclic group 
- C: Cyclic group 
 
- axisinteger
- The cyclic rotation axis. Must be one of [‘X’, ‘Y’, ‘Z’] (or lowercase). Default is ‘Z’. Ignored for groups ‘I’, ‘O’, and ‘T’. 
 
- Returns:
- rotationRotationinstance
- Object containing the elements of the rotation group. 
 
- rotation
 - Notes - This method generates rotation groups only. The full 3-dimensional point groups [PointGroups] also contain reflections. - References [PointGroups]- Point groups on Wikipedia.
