The point
B
P is with respect to coordinate frame {B} with the translation vector 0f
[-2.1171 0 .7071]
T
and rotation matrix of -45 rotation.
The point
B
P is also specified in user format with X = -2.1171, Y = 0, Z = 0.7071,
Rx = 0, Ry = 0, Rz = -45.
Use the matrix representation to convert points from one frame to another frame.
It enables computation of the right translation and orientation or pose in the
specified frame.
For further information on the methods to determine the point specifications in
the example, see the work frame and tool frame topics.

Studio 5000 kinematics supports these frames for programming different robot
applications. Forward and Inverse transformation equations are established for a
Cartesian point in space based on frames indicated by the program.
