This package provides LaTeX macros to easily and concisely typeset vectors and matrices in a flexible way such as to follow the RIGID notation convention. The package enables the user to define custom commands that can then be used in any math-mode environment to efficiently and rigorously typeset the notational elements commonly used in robotics research (and many other fields) for position vectors, rotation matrices, pose matrices, etc.
This package is available on CTAN, and a PDF manual is accessible here.
If you want to install the package manually on your local computer, you can follow the steps outlined below.
- Run
kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME
to get the path to your TeX package home. Assuming that your TeX package home is$TEXHOME
, - Run
mkdir -p $TEXHOME/tex/latex/rigidnotation/
to create a directory for this package. - Run
tex rigidnotation.ins
to generate therigidnotation.sty
macro file. - Run
cp rigidnotation.sty $TEXHOME/tex/latex/rigidnotation/
to install the package. - Run
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode rigidnotation.dtx
to build the documentation. - Run
texhash $TEXHOME
to update the LaTeX package tree.
This package depends on mathtools and xparse packages, both of which are widely used.
