27 /** Tridimensional references frames class.
28 *
29 * <h1> Frame Presentation </h1>
30 * <p>This class is the base class for all frames in OREKIT. The frames are
31 * linked together in a tree with some specific frame chosen as the root of the tree.
32 * Each frame is defined by {@link Transform transforms} combining any number
33 * of translations and rotations from a reference frame which is its
34 * parent frame in the tree structure.</p>
35 * <p>When we say a {@link Transform transform} t is <em>from frame<sub>A</sub>
36 * to frame<sub>B</sub></em>, we mean that if the coordinates of some absolute
37 * vector (say the direction of a distant star for example) has coordinates
38 * u<sub>A</sub> in frame<sub>A</sub> and u<sub>B</sub> in frame<sub>B</sub>,
39 * then u<sub>B</sub>={@link
40 * Transform#transformVector(org.hipparchus.geometry.euclidean.threed.Vector3D)
41 * t.transformVector(u<sub>A</sub>)}.
42 * <p>The transforms may be constant or varying, depending on the implementation of
43 * the {@link TransformProvider transform provider} used to define the frame. For simple
44 * fixed transforms, using {@link FixedTransformProvider} is sufficient. For varying
45 * transforms (time-dependent or telemetry-based for example), it may be useful to define
46 * specific implementations of {@link TransformProvider transform provider}.</p>
