Sets this to be the conjugate of the current quat.

Returns true if the successful, false if the quat was singular.

double LQuaterniond::get_angle ( ) const [inline]

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.
