Detailed Description

Simple representation of a quaternion representing a rotation.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KudanQuaternion() [1/2]

KudanQuaternion::KudanQuaternion

(

)

Default constructor initialises the data to the zero quaternion (0,0,0,0)'

KudanQuaternion() [2/2]

KudanQuaternion::KudanQuaternion	(	float	x,
		float	y,
		float	z,
		float	w
	)

Constructor for initialising the data to the given quaternion. Careful of the order: x, y, z, w

Parameters

x,y,z,w

Coefficients of the quaternion

Member Function Documentation

norm()

float KudanQuaternion::norm

(

)

Get the norm of this Quaternion (should usually be 1). This is the Euclidean/L2 norm of the 4-vector representing the quaternion

normalise()

void KudanQuaternion::normalise

(

)

Normalises this quaternion (so it is a 4-vector with Euclidean/L2 norm 1)

quaternionToRotation()

KudanMatrix3 KudanQuaternion::quaternionToRotation ( KudanQuaternion &  q )

static

A function to convert from a quaternion to a rotation matrix

Parameters

q	The input quaternion

Returns

a KudanMatrix3 rotation matrix

toRotation()

KudanMatrix3 KudanQuaternion::toRotation

(

)

Turns this quaternion into a rotation matrix

Returns

a KudanMatrix3 rotation matrix representing the same rotation as this

toString()

std::string KudanQuaternion::toString

(

)

Returns a representation of this as a string (x,y,z;w)

Returns

A string representation of this quaternion

zero()

void KudanQuaternion::zero

(

)

Set the all coefficients to zero

Member Data Documentation

x

float KudanQuaternion::x

Public x, y, z, w coefficients of the quaternion
