20.1.5.11 rot

This element defines a rotation in 3D space. A rotation in DrawingML is defined through the use of a latitude coordinate, a longitude coordinate, and a revolution about the axis as the latitude and longitude coordinates.

[Example: Consider the following example of a rotation defined by the rot elements being used in a lightRig in DrawingML:

<a:lightRig rig="twoPt" dir="t">
  <a:rot lat="0" lon="0" rev="6000000"/>
</a:lightRig>

In this example, we have only a revolution applied to the light rig which rotates it around it’s center axis. end example]

Attributes

lon (Longitude)

Defines the longitude value of the rotation.

[Example:

Consider the following example of a

rot in DrawingML:

    <a:rot lat="0" lon="0" rev="6000000"/>

In this example, we set the lon to be equal to 0. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_PositiveFixedAngle simple type (20.1.10.44).

lat (Latitude)

Defines the latitude value of the rotation.

[Example:

Consider the following example of a

rot in DrawingML:

    <a:rot lat="0" lon="0" rev="6000000"/>

In this example, we set the lat to be equal to 0.

end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_PositiveFixedAngle simple type (20.1.10.44).

rev (Revolution)

This attributes defines the revolution around the central axis in the rotation.

[Example:

Consider the following example of a

rot in DrawingML:

    <a:rot lat="0" lon="0" rev="6000000"/>

In this example, we set the rev to be equal to 6000000. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_PositiveFixedAngle simple type (20.1.10.44).
