• Defined in File UnitVectors.hpp

Function Documentation

template<typename InputVector>
auto Acts::makeCurvilinearUnitU(const Eigen::MatrixBase<InputVector> &direction)

Construct the first curvilinear unit vector U for the given direction.

The special case of the direction vector pointing along the z-axis is handled by forcing the unit vector to along the x-axis.

Return

a normalized vector in the x-y plane orthogonal to the direction.

Parameters

• direction: is the input direction vector
