Detailed Description

This class represents a quaternion in mathematics. Quaternions represetn directions as a single rotation, just as rectangular coordinates represent positions as single vector. RQuaternion also defines some constants that can be used directly:

Constant Description
RQuaternion.IDENTITY 4D zero vector: (0, 0, 0, 1)
RQuaternion.ZERO 4D x unit vector: (0, 0, 0, 0) initialization value

Operators

=

The "equal to" operator. 

1 q = RLPy.RQuaternion()
2 p = q
3 if q == p:                         # True
4     print("equal")

!=

The "not equal to" operator.

See Also: == 

1 a = RLPy.RVector4(1, 2, 3, 4)
2 q = RLPy.RQuaternion(a)
3 b = RLPy.RVector4(2, 2, 3, 4)

6     print("not equal")

<

The "less than" operator. Similar to string comparison: Returns True upon the first match that is less than and False if it is greater than. If the current comparison is equal, continue onto the next element. If all elements are equal then return False.
