classmethod
from_cartesian
(other, base)[source]¶ Convert the differential from 3D rectangular cartesian coordinates to the desired class.
Parameters: other :
The object to convert into this differential.
base : instance of
self.base_representation
The points for which the differentials are to be converted: each of the components is multiplied by its unit vectors and scale factors.
Returns: A new differential object that is this class’ type.

classmethod
from_representation
(representation, base=None)[source]¶ Create a new instance of this representation from another one.
Parameters: representation :
BaseRepresentation
instanceThe presentation that should be converted to this class.
base : instance of
cls.base_representation
The base relative to which the differentials will be defined. If the representation is a differential itself, the base will be converted to its
base_representation
to help convert it.

to_cartesian
(base)[source]¶ Convert the differential to 3D rectangular cartesian coordinates.
Parameters: base : instance of
self.base_representation
The points for which the differentials are to be converted: each of the components is multiplied by its unit vectors and scale factors.
Returns: This object as a
CartesianDifferential
