fractaldna.structure_models.voxelisation.Voxel

class fractaldna.structure_models.voxelisation.Voxel(pos, inHeading, inPrincipal, outHeading, outPrincipal)

Bases: object

Position, rotation and form of a DNA placement voxel.

The principal axes are used to determine if the DNA would undergo a 90˚ rotation as it passes through the voxel.

One way to think of them is to consider that the path of your DNA or curve through the voxel is along a continuous z-axis, perpendicular to an X-Y plane. The Principal Axes could be the vectors that describe the direction of the X-axis.

Class Notes: psi, theta, phi: Euler rotations about the X, Y and Z axes (XYZ rotation order)

type: code corresponding to geometrical shape pos: XYZ position

Voxel(pos, inHeading, inPrincipal, outHeading, outPrincipal)

Parameters:

• pos (array) – XYZ-position of voxel

• inHeading (array) – vector of the DNA heading “into” the voxel.

• inPrincipal (array) – vector of the DNA’s principal axis at the entrace to the voxel

• outHeading (array) – vector of the DNA heading “out” of the voxel.

• outPrincipal (array) – vector of the DNA’s principal axis at the exit to the voxel
