jit.axis2quat
Description
Convert an angle-axis representation of an orientation to a quaternion. Jitter quaternions are ordered X Y Z W.
Examples
Discussion
A quaternion is a mathematical construct that is a four dimensional vector, and can be visualized as a rotation around an arbitrary axis. Quaternions are a useful representation of an orientation in 3D space.
Attributes
angleaxis [4 floats]
