    Synopsis

    Defines a coordinate system using three points. Returns a frame with origin as the origin, the X+ axis along the vector from origin to xloc, and the Y+ axis from origin to yloc.

    Frames define coordinate systems. There is a transformation matrix associated with a frame, which transforms geometry defined in the "world" coordinate system to the local coordinate system.

    Syntax

    frame3Point ( origin1 As Point, _
                  xloc As Point, _
                  yloc As Point ) As Frame 
    Argument Type Description
    origin1 Point Origin of the frame
    xloc Point Vector from origin1 to this point defines positive X direction
    yloc Point Vector from origin1 to this point defines positive Y direction
