SignatureParametersDescription
MEulerRotation()  

Default constructor. Returns a new MEulerRotation object, initialized to the identity rotation.

MEulerRotation(src) src - MEulerRotation

Copy constructor. Returns a new MEulerRotation object with the same value as src.

MEulerRotation(vec, order=kXYZ) vec - MVector
order - Rotation Order constant

Returns a new MEulerRotation with the given order and its X, Y and Z rotations set to the corresponding elements of vec.

MEulerRotation(seq, order=kXYZ) seq - sequence of three floats.
order - Rotation Order constant

Returns a new MEulerRotation with the given order and its X, Y and Z rotations set to the corresponding elements of seq.

MEulerRotation(x, y, z, order=kXYZ) x - float
y - float
z - float
order - Rotation Order constant
Returns a new MEulerRotation with the specified x, y and z rotations and the given rotation order.

Sequence Support

An MEulerRotation is treated as a sequence of three float values: [x, y, z].

len() returns 3.

Indexing and element assignment are supported.

Deletion, concatenation, repetition and slicing are not supported.

Number Support

OperationResult
MEulerRotation = MEulerRotation + MEulerRotation

MEulerRotation -= MEulerRotation

In-place subtraction. Right operand is first reordered to match left, if necessary. Returns a new reference to the rotation.

MEulerRotation = -MEulerRotation

Each component is negated. Rotation order is unchanged.

MEulerRotation = MEulerRotation * MEulerRotation

Multiplication of rotations. Rotation order of left operand is preserved.

MEulerRotation *= MEulerRotation

Comparison Support

==

Exact equality comparison. True if the order and rotational components of the left operand are exactly equal to those of the right.

!= Exact inequality comparison. True if the order or the left and right operands are different or if any of their rotational components are not exactly equal.

All other comparison operators will raise a TypeError exception.
