3DView2 Programming Overview

Coordinate Systems

Note that microPSI and 3DView2 use different coordinate systems. For the user, only the microPSI coordinate system matters. As a developer, you need to be aware of the engines coordinate system and how to convert between the two.

In microPSI:

• x points east
• y points south
• orientation angles are in degrees, interval [0,360)
• orientation angles are clockwise; 0 degrees points north, 90 degrees points east

In 3DView2:

• x points east
• y points up
• z points south
• orientation angles are in radiant
• orientation angles are counter-clockwise; 0 degrees points east, 90 points north

micropsiutils.h contains useful helper functions for converting between the two systems
