rotate_z Function

public pure function rotate_z(angle) result(rst)

Constructs the rotation matrix describing a rotation about a y-axis such that $\overrightarrow{r_2} = \textbf{R}_z \overrightarrow{r_1}$.

$$\textbf{R}_z = \left[ \begin{matrix} \cos{\theta_z} & -\sin{\theta_z} & 0 \\ \sin{\theta_z} & \cos{\theta_z} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$$

Arguments

Type	Intent	Optional	Attributes		Name
real(kind=real64),	intent(in)			::	angle	The rotation angle, in radians.

Return Value real(kind=real64), (3,3)

The resulting 3-by-3 matrix.
