Rotation

Syntax

<Path>.Rotation:real/real[4]

The method Rotation sets the rotation of the designated graphic designated by <Path>.

Note:

When you assign the attribute, Plant Simulation deactivates graphic inheritance.

Note:

You cannot assign the attribute when the graphic is an automatically generated graphic group or when the graphic is located in an automatically generated graphic group.

Data Type of the Value You Can Assign

You can specify:

A value of data type real which sets the rotation around the negative Z-axis at the position at which you inserted the object.
An array of data type real with four values that sets the rotation around the designated axis (values 2 to 4) at the position at which you inserted the object.

Data Type of the Value You Can Assign

When you query the attribute, Plant Simulation returns an array with four values.

Example

var a : any := MyStation._3D.getGraphic("default", [1]).Rotation -- returns an array of size 4

MyStation._3D.getGraphic("default", [1]).Rotation := 30 -- rotates the graphic by 30 degrees

MyStation._3D.getGraphic("default", [1]).Rotation := [45, 0, 1, 0] -- rotates the graphic by 45 degrees around the Y-axis
