getClassType static TypeHandle LOrientationf::get_class_type(void); Undocumented function.

operator * LOrientationf LOrientationf::operator *(LRotationf const &other) const; Description: Orientation * rotation = Orientation Applies a rotation to an orientation. Description: Orientation * Orientation This is a meaningless operation, and will always simply return the rhs.

almostEqual bool LQuaternionf::almost_equal(LQuaternionf const &other) const; Description: Returns true if two quaternions are memberwise equal within a default tolerance based on the numeric type. Description: Returns true if two quaternions are memberwise equal within a specified tolerance.

almostSameDirection bool LQuaternionf::almost_same_direction(LQuaternionf const &other, float threshold) const; Description: Returns true if two quaternions represent the same rotation within a specified tolerance.

angleDeg float LQuaternionf::angle_deg(LQuaternionf const &other) const; Description: Returns the angle between the orientation represented by this quaternion and the other one, expressed in degrees.

angleRad float LQuaternionf::angle_rad(LQuaternionf const &other) const; Description: Returns the angle between the orientation represented by this quaternion and the other one, expressed in radians.

conjugate LQuaternionf LQuaternionf::conjugate(void) const; Description: Returns the complex conjugate of this quat.

conjugateFrom bool LQuaternionf::conjugate_from(LQuaternionf const &other); Description: Computes the conjugate of the other quat, and stores the result in this quat. This is a fully general operation and makes no assumptions about the type of transform represented by the quat. The other quat must be a different object than this quat. However, if you need to get a conjugate of a quat in place, see conjugate_in_place. The return value is true if the quat was successfully inverted, false if there was a singularity.

conjugateInPlace bool LQuaternionf::conjugate_in_place(void); Description: Sets this to be the conjugate of the current quat. Returns true if the successful, false if the quat was singular.

extractToMatrix void LQuaternionf::extract_to_matrix(LMatrix3f &m) const; Description: Based on the quat lib from VRPN.

getAngle float LQuaternionf::get_angle(void) const; Description: This, along with get_axis(), returns the rotation represented by the quaternion as an angle about an arbitrary axis. This returns the angle, in degrees counterclockwise about the axis. It is necessary to ensure the quaternion has been normalized (for instance, with a call to normalize()) before calling this method.

getAngleRad float LQuaternionf::get_angle_rad(void) const; Description: This, along with get_axis(), returns the rotation represented by the quaternion as an angle about an arbitrary axis. This returns the angle, in radians counterclockwise about the axis. It is necessary to ensure the quaternion has been normalized (for instance, with a call to normalize()) before calling this method.

getAxis LVector3f LQuaternionf::get_axis(void) const; Description: This, along with get_angle(), returns the rotation represented by the quaternion as an angle about an arbitrary axis. This returns the axis; it is not normalized.

getAxisNormalized LVector3f LQuaternionf::get_axis_normalized(void) const; Description: This, along with get_angle(), returns the rotation represented by the quaternion as an angle about an arbitrary axis. This returns the normalized axis.

invertFrom bool LQuaternionf::invert_from(LQuaternionf const &other); Description: Computes the inverse of the other quat, and stores the result in this quat. This is a fully general operation and makes no assumptions about the type of transform represented by the quat. The other quat must be a different object than this quat. However, if you need to invert a quat in place, see invert_in_place. The return value is true if the quat was successfully inverted, false if there was a singularity.

invertInPlace bool LQuaternionf::invert_in_place(void); Description: Inverts the current quat. Returns true if the inverse is successful, false if the quat was singular.

isAlmostIdentity bool LQuaternionf::is_almost_identity(float tolerance) const; Description: Returns true if this quaternion represents the identity transformation within a given tolerance.
