Detailed Description

See also

Class Quat, Class Point3.

Description:

This class provides a representation for orientation in three space using an angle and axis. This class is similar to a quaternion, except that a normalized quaternion only represents -PI to +PI rotation. This class will have the number of revolutions stored. All methods of this class are implemented by the system.

The rotation convention in the 3ds Max API is the left-hand-rule. Note that this is different from the right-hand-rule used in the 3ds Max user interface.

Data Members:

Point3 axis;

The axis of rotation.

float angle;

The angle of rotation about the axis in radians. This angle is left handed.

Set() [3/4]

AngAxis & Set

(

const Quat &

q

)

Remarks

Sets the angle and axis based on the rotations from the specified quaternion.

Parameters:

const Quat& q

Specifies the angle and axis to use.

Returns

A reference to this AngAxis.

Parameters:

const Matrix3& m

Specifies the angle and axis to use.

Returns

A reference to this AngAxis.

GetNumRevs()

int GetNumRevs

(

)

Remarks

Returns the number of revolutions represented by the angle. This returns int(angle/TWOPI);

SetNumRevs()

void SetNumRevs

(

int

num

)

Remarks

Sets the number of revolution to num. This modifies angle: angle += float(num)*TWOPI;
