transl.m

Robotics TOOLBOX The Toolbox provides many functions that are useful in robotics including such thi

%TRANSL Create translational transform
%
%	TR = TRANSL(X, Y, Z)
%	TR = TRANSL( [X Y Z] )
%
% Returns a homogeneous transformation representing a translation of X, Y
% and Z.
%
%	[X Y Z]' = TRANSL(T)
%
% Returns the translational part of a homogenous transform as a 3-element 
% column vector.
%
%	[X Y Z] = TRANSL(TG)
%
% Returns a  matrix of the X, Y and Z elements extracted from a Cartesian 
% trajectory matrix TG.
