#[repr(C)]
pub struct DualQuaternion<T> { pub real: Quaternion<T>, pub dual: Quaternion<T>, }
Expand description

A dual quaternion.

Indexing

DualQuaternions are stored as [..real, ..dual]. Both of the quaternion components are laid out in i, j, k, w order.


let real = Quaternion::new(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0);
let dual = Quaternion::new(5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0);

let dq = DualQuaternion::from_real_and_dual(real, dual);
assert_eq!(dq[0], 2.0);
assert_eq!(dq[1], 3.0);

assert_eq!(dq[4], 6.0);
assert_eq!(dq[7], 5.0);

NOTE: As of December 2020, dual quaternion support is a work in progress. If a feature that you need is missing, feel free to open an issue or a PR. See https://github.com/dimforge/nalgebra/issues/487

Fields

real: Quaternion<T>

Creates a dual quaternion from its rotation and translation components.

Example
let rot = Quaternion::new(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0);

    Quaternion::new(1.,2.,3.,4.),
    Quaternion::new(5.,6.,7.,8.)
);

assert_eq!(dq1 * dq2, dq2);
assert_eq!(dq2 * dq1, dq2);

Cast the components of self to another type.

let dq = DualQuaternion::from_real(rot);
assert_eq!(dq.real.w, 1.0);
assert_eq!(dq.dual.w, 0.0);
