_function.SeitzFromJones

Definition:

   
    The function
              s  =  SeitzFromJones( j )

    returns a 4x4 Seitz matrix from the Jones' faithful representation of
    the equivalent position which is a character string e.g. 1/2+x,-x,z.

Type: Real

Values appear in Matrix context.

Dimension: [4,4]

Units: none

Evaluation method:
