◆ operator[]() [1/2]

template<typename DT >
DT & ml::TQuaternion< DT >::operator[] ( const size_t i)

Indexing operator.

Permits read and write access to qx, qy, qz, and qw via indexes 0,1,2 and 3, respectively. The caller must guarantee that i is within [0,...,3].

◆ qv() [1/2]

template<typename DT >
FloatingPointVector< DT, 3, Vector3DataContainer< DT > > & ml::TQuaternion< DT >::qv ( )
inline

Returns a modifiable reference to the quaternion's imaginary part as vector object, see same named constant version of this method.

BUG: This function in the current version breaks strict aliasing and should be fixed; see MMS Bug 57542 for details.

◆ qv() [2/2]

template<typename DT >
const FloatingPointVector< DT, 3, Vector3DataContainer< DT > > & ml::TQuaternion< DT >::qv ( ) const
inline

Returns a constant reference to the quaternion's imaginary part as vector object.

It uses a hack by casting the reference to the first three array components to a scalar vector template. This is not nice, however it became necessary to provide compatibility to former versions, where qv was a class union component which is not allowed any more under newer compiler versions. BUG: This function in the current version breaks strict aliasing and should be fixed; see MMS Bug 57542 for details.

◆ set() [1/2]

template<typename DT >
void ml::TQuaternion< DT >::set ( const DT x,
const DT y,
const DT z,
const DT w )
inline

Sets all quaternion elements qx, qy, qz, and qw from parameters x, y, z, and w, respectively.

Definition at line 213 of file mlQuaternion.h.

◆ set() [2/2]

template<typename DT >
void ml::TQuaternion< DT >::set ( const FloatingPointVector< DT, 3, Vector3DataContainer< DT > > & v,
const DT w )
inline

Sets all quaternion elements from a vector and DT parameter.

Constructs the quaternion with the real part given by w and the imaginary part contained in the vector qv.

Definition at line 203 of file mlQuaternion.h.

◆ sgn()

template<typename DT >
TQuaternion< DT > ml::TQuaternion< DT >::sgn ( bool * isError = nullptr) const
inline

Returns the sign of the quaternion.

If sign cannot be determined, an error is posted. If isError is NULL, it is posted to the error handling system. If isError is non-NULL, no error is posted, however *isError is set to true, otherwise it is set to false. In error case and isError is non-NULL the default quaternion is returned.

◆ sqrt()

template<typename DT >
TQuaternion< DT > ml::TQuaternion< DT >::sqrt ( bool * isError = nullptr) const
inline

Computes the square root of a quaternion.

If sqrt cannot be determined, an error is created. If isError is NULL, it is posted to the error handling system. If isError is non-NULL, no error is posted, however *isError is set to true, otherwise it is set to false. In error case and isError is non-NULL the default quaternion is returned.

Provides access to all members as an array with three imaginary components indexed by [0,1,2] and real part indexed by 3.

For performance reasons no checks are done: the caller must guarantee that indexes are within [0,...,3].
