In rotation about an axis, each point P of the set S of all points of unextended space is carried into a point P1 of S by rotating P about a fixed line in space through a given angle.

The fixed line is called the axis of rotation.

For a detailed description of the object created Q, use the routine detail (i.e., detail(Q))

The command with(geom3d,rotation) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{geom3d}\right)\:$

$\mathrm{stellate}\left(\mathrm{ico1}\,\mathrm{icosahedron}\left(\mathrm{ico}\,\mathrm{point}\left(o\,3\,3\,3\right)\,1.\right)\,12\right)$

$\mathrm{ico1}$

$\mathrm{line}\left(l\,\left[0\,0\,t\right]\,t\right)$

$l$

$\mathrm{rotation}\left(\mathrm{ico2}\,\mathrm{ico1}\,\mathrm{evalf}\left(\mathrm{\pi }\right)\,l\right)$

$\mathrm{ico2}$

$\mathrm{draw}\left(\left[\mathrm{ico1}\,\mathrm{ico2}\right]\,\mathrm{orientation}=\left[0\,32\right]\,\mathrm{style}=\mathrm{patch}\,\mathrm{lightmodel}=\mathrm{light4}\right)$
