I appreciate that this is not a ‘pure’ Perl question. However, as I have found some references to the general
area I hope some Monk may be able to help.
It is a 3D geometry question.
I have a number of points that lie on a plane. I want to move these so that they lie on a second plane.
I know where three points on the first plane are positioned on the second plane.
Internet searches lead me to believe that the solution may well involve rotation matrices.
I have also found references that come frustratingly close to the solution I am looking for but from which I cannot move forward.
Can any Monk point me in the right direction or even to a Perl example that carries out what I need?
