Functions

rsQuaternionAdd : Add two quaternions

void rsQuaternionAdd(rs_quaternion* q, const rs_quaternion* rhs);
Parameters
qDestination quaternion to add to.
rhsQuaternion to add.

Adds two quaternions, i.e. *q += *rhs;

rsQuaternionConjugate : Conjugate a quaternion

void rsQuaternionConjugate(rs_quaternion* q);
Parameters
qQuaternion to modify.

Conjugates the quaternion.

rsQuaternionDot : Dot product of two quaternions

float rsQuaternionDot(const rs_quaternion* q0, const rs_quaternion* q1);
Parameters
q0First quaternion.
q1Second quaternion.

Returns the dot product of two quaternions.

rsQuaternionGetMatrixUnit : Get a rotation matrix from a quaternion

void rsQuaternionGetMatrixUnit(rs_matrix4x4* m, const rs_quaternion* q);
Parameters
mResulting matrix.
qNormalized quaternion.

Computes a rotation matrix from the normalized quaternion.

rsQuaternionLoadRotate : Create a rotation quaternion

void rsQuaternionLoadRotate(rs_quaternion* q, float rot, float x, float y, float z);
Parameters
qDestination quaternion.
rotAngle to rotate by.
xX component of a vector.
yY component of a vector.
zZ component of a vector.

Loads a quaternion that represents a rotation about an arbitrary vector (doesn't have to be unit)

rsQuaternionLoadRotateUnit : Quaternion that represents a rotation about an arbitrary unit vector

void rsQuaternionLoadRotateUnit(rs_quaternion* q, float rot, float x, float y, float z);
Parameters
qDestination quaternion.
rotAngle to rotate by, in radians.
xX component of the vector.

rsQuaternionMultiply : Multiply a quaternion by a scalar or another quaternion

void rsQuaternionMultiply(rs_quaternion* q, const rs_quaternion* rhs);
void rsQuaternionMultiply(rs_quaternion* q, float scalar);
Parameters
qDestination quaternion.
scalarScalar to multiply the quaternion by.
rhsQuaternion to multiply the destination quaternion by.

Multiplies a quaternion by a scalar or by another quaternion, e.g *q = *q * scalar; or *q = *q * *rhs;.

rsQuaternionNormalize : Normalize a quaternion

void rsQuaternionNormalize(rs_quaternion* q);
Parameters
qQuaternion to normalize.

Normalizes the quaternion.

rsQuaternionSet : Create a quaternion

void rsQuaternionSet(rs_quaternion* q, const rs_quaternion* rhs);
void rsQuaternionSet(rs_quaternion* q, float w, float x, float y, float z);
Parameters
qDestination quaternion.
wW component.

yY component.
zZ component.
rhsSource quaternion.

Creates a quaternion from its four components or from another quaternion.

rsQuaternionSlerp : Spherical linear interpolation between two quaternions

void rsQuaternionSlerp(rs_quaternion* q, const rs_quaternion* q0, const rs_quaternion* q1, float t);
Parameters
qResult quaternion from the interpolation.
q0First input quaternion.
q1Second input quaternion.
tHow much to interpolate by.

Performs spherical linear interpolation between two quaternions.
