Quaternion Properties |
The Quaternion type exposes the following members.
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | A |
Gets or sets the real part of the quaternion.
|
| B |
Gets or sets the first imaginary coefficient of the quaternion.
|
| C |
Gets or sets the second imaginary coefficient of the quaternion.
|
| Conjugate |
Gets a new quaternion that is the conjugate of this quaternion.
This is (a,-b,-c,-d) |
| D |
Gets or sets the third imaginary coefficient of the quaternion.
|
 | I |
Returns the (0,1,0,0) quaternion.
|
| Identity |
Returns the (1,0,0,0) quaternion.
|
| Inverse |
Computes a new inverted quaternion,
(a/L2, -b/L2, -c/L2, -d/L2), where L2 = length squared = (a*a + b*b + c*c + d*d). This is the multiplicative inverse, i.e., (a,b,c,d)*(a/L2, -b/L2, -c/L2, -d/L2) = (1,0,0,0). If this is the zero quaternion, then the zero quaternion is returned. |
| IsScalar |
true if b, c, and d are all zero.
|
| IsValid |
Determines if the four coefficients are valid numbers within RhinoCommon.
|
| IsVector |
true if a = 0 and at least one of b, c, or d is not zero.
|
| IsZero |
true if a, b, c, and d are all zero.
|
| J |
Returns the (0,0,1,0) quaternion.
|
| K |
Returns the (0,0,0,1) quaternion.
|
| Length |
Returns the length or norm of the quaternion.
|
| LengthSquared |
Gets the result of (a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2).
|
| Scalar |
The real (scalar) part of the quaternion
This is A. |
| Vector |
The imaginary part of the quaternion
(B,C,D) |
| Zero |
Returns the default quaternion, where all coefficients are 0.
