The QQuaternion class represents a quaternion consisting of a vector and scalar.
Quaternions are used to represent rotations in 3D space, and consist of a 3D rotation axis specified by the x, y, and z coordinates, and a scalar representing the rotation angle.
Constructs an identity quaternion, i.e. with coordinates (1, 0, 0, 0).
Constructs a quaternion with the vector (xpos, ypos, zpos) and scalar.
Constructs a quaternion vector from the specified vector and scalar.
See also vector() and scalar().
Constructs a quaternion from the components of vector.
Returns the conjugate of this quaternion, which is (-x, -y, -z, scalar).
Creates a normalized quaternion that corresponds to rotating through angle degrees about the specified 3D axis.
Creates a normalized quaternion that corresponds to rotating through angle degrees about the 3D axis (x, y, z).
Returns true if the x, y, and z components of this quaternion are set to 0.0, and the scalar component is set to 1.0; otherwise returns false.
Returns true if the x, y, z, and scalar components of this quaternion are set to 0.0; otherwise returns false.
Returns the length of the quaternion. This is also called the "norm".
See also lengthSquared() and normalized().
Returns the squared length of the quaternion.
See also length().
Interpolates along the shortest linear path between the rotational positions q1 and q2. The value t should be between 0 and 1, indicating the distance to travel between q1 and q2. The result will be normalized().
If t is less than or equal to 0, then q1 will be returned. If t is greater than or equal to 1, then q2 will be returned.
The nlerp() function is typically faster than slerp() and will give approximate results to spherical interpolation that are good enough for some applications.
See also slerp().
Normalizes the currect quaternion in place. Nothing happens if this is a null quaternion or the length of the quaternion is very close to 1.
See also length() and normalized().
Returns the normalized unit form of this quaternion.
If this quaternion is null, then a null quaternion is returned. If the length of the quaternion is very close to 1, then the quaternion will be returned as-is. Otherwise the normalized form of the quaternion of length 1 will be returned.
See also length() and normalize().
Rotates vector with this quaternion to produce a new vector in 3D space. The following code:
QVector3D result = q.rotatedVector(vector);
is equivalent to the following:
QVector3D result = (q * QQuaternion(0, vector) * q.conjugate()).vector();
Returns the scalar component of this quaternion.
See also setScalar(), x(), y(), and z().
Sets the scalar component of this quaternion to scalar.
See also scalar(), setX(), setY(), and setZ().
Sets the vector component of this quaternion to vector.
See also vector() and setScalar().
Sets the vector component of this quaternion to (x, y, z).
See also vector() and setScalar().
Sets the x coordinate of this quaternion's vector to the given x coordinate.
See also x(), setY(), setZ(), and setScalar().
Sets the y coordinate of this quaternion's vector to the given y coordinate.
See also y(), setX(), setZ(), and setScalar().
Sets the z coordinate of this quaternion's vector to the given z coordinate.
See also z(), setX(), setY(), and setScalar().
Interpolates along the shortest spherical path between the rotational positions q1 and q2. The value t should be between 0 and 1, indicating the spherical distance to travel between q1 and q2.
If t is less than or equal to 0, then q1 will be returned. If t is greater than or equal to 1, then q2 will be returned.
See also nlerp().
Returns this quaternion as a 4D vector.
Returns the vector component of this quaternion.
See also setVector() and scalar().
Returns the x coordinate of this quaternion's vector.
See also setX(), y(), z(), and scalar().
Returns the y coordinate of this quaternion's vector.
See also setY(), x(), z(), and scalar().
Returns the z coordinate of this quaternion's vector.
