Bases: object
Base Representation object, for representing a point in a 3D coordinate system.
Notes
All representation classes should subclass this base representation class. All subclasses should then define a to_cartesian method and a from_cartesian class method. By default, transformations are done via the cartesian system, but classes that want to define a smarter transformation path can overload the represent_as method. Furthermore, all classes must define an attr_classes attribute, an OrderedDict which maps component names to the class that creates them. They can also define a recommended_units dictionary, which maps component names to the units they are best presented to users in. Note that frame classes may override this with their own preferred units.
