2.
Use the
options
parameter to choose the options you need to locate the
edges on the object, the coordinate system axis direction, and the
results that you want to overlay onto the image. Set the
options
parameter to

to use the default options.
3.
Choose the mode for the function. To build a coordinate transform for
the first time, set the
