ROOT::Math::Quaternion Class Reference

Rotation class with the (3D) rotation represented by a unit quaternion (u, i, j, k).

This is the optimal representation for multiplication of multiple rotations, and for computation of group-manifold-invariant distance between two rotations. See also ROOT::Math::AxisAngle, ROOT::Math::EulerAngles, and ROOT::Math::Rotation3D.
