openalea.phenomenal.calibration.transformations.reflection_matrix(point, normal)

Return matrix to mirror at plane defined by point and normal vector.

>>> v0 = numpy.random.random(4) - 0.5
>>> v0[3] = 1.
>>> v1 = numpy.random.random(3) - 0.5
>>> R = reflection_matrix(v0, v1)
>>> numpy.allclose(2, numpy.trace(R))
True
>>> numpy.allclose(v0, numpy.dot(R, v0))
True
>>> v2 = v0.copy()
>>> v2[:3] += v1
>>> v3 = v0.copy()
>>> v2[:3] -= v1
>>> numpy.allclose(v2, numpy.dot(R, v3))
True
