<brief_description>
|
|
A unit quaternion used for representing 3D rotations.
|
|
</brief_description>
|
|
<description>
|
|
Quaternions are similar to [Basis], which implements the matrix representation of rotations. Unlike [Basis], which stores rotation, scale, and shearing, quaternions only store rotation.
|
|
Quaternions can be parametrized using both an axis-angle pair or Euler angles. Due to their compactness and the way they are stored in memory, certain operations (obtaining axis-angle and performing SLERP, in particular) are more efficient and robust against floating-point errors.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] Quaternions need to be normalized before being used for rotation.

|
|
[b]Note:[/b] The magnitude of the floating-point error for this method is abnormally high, so methods such as [code]is_zero_approx[/code] will not work reliably.
