Builds a rotation matrix to transform coordinates from their coordinate system into a conventional cartesian system. This is built off of the three axis_u, axis_v, and axis_w properties; these mapping coordinates use the letters U, V, and W (the three letters preceding X, Y, and Z in the alphabet) to define the projection of the X, Y, and Z durections. These UVW vectors describe the placement and transformation of the mesh’s coordinate sytem assuming at most 3 directions.

Why would you want to use these UVW mapping vectors the this rotation_matrix property? They allow us to define the realationship between local and global coordinate systems and provide a tool for switching between the two while still maintaing the connectivity of the mesh’s cells. For a visual example of this, please see the figure in the docs for the vtkInterface.

• assert_valid - Require deserialized instance to be valid. Default is False.
• Any other keyword arguments will be passed through to the Property deserializers.
