DX, DY, DZ real-valued function DX, DY, DZ real-valued function Syntax DX (location) DY (location) DZ (location) Function Return a displacement component of a given transformation value. Parameter location Transformation value from which a component is desired. This can be a function, a variable, or a compound transformation. Details These three functions return the respective displacement components of the specified transformation value. NOTE: The DECOMPOSE instruction can also be used to obtain the displacement components of a transformation value. If the rotation components are desired, that instruction must be used.
DECOMPOSE is more efficient if more than one element is needed and the location is a compound transformation. Example Consider a transformation start with the following components: 125, 250, -50, 135, 50, 75 The following function references will then yield the indicated values: DX(start) ;Returns 125.00 DY(start) ;Returns 250.00 DZ(start) ;Returns -50.00 Related Keywords DECOMPOSE program instruction RX transformation function RY transformation function eV+Language Reference Guide, v2.x, 18319-000 Rev A Page 194
