QuaternionFCreateRotation Method (Vector3F, Vector3F)

Creates a unit quaternion that specifies a rotation given by two vectors.

Namespace: DigitalRune.Mathematics.Algebra
Assembly: DigitalRune.Mathematics (in DigitalRune.Mathematics.dll) Version: 1.14.0.0 (1.14.0.14427)

Syntax

C++

Copy

public static QuaternionF CreateRotation(
	Vector3F startVector,
	Vector3F rotatedVector
)

Public Shared Function CreateRotation ( 
	startVector As Vector3F,
	rotatedVector As Vector3F
) As QuaternionF

public:
static QuaternionF CreateRotation(
	Vector3F startVector, 
	Vector3F rotatedVector
)

static member CreateRotation : 
        startVector : Vector3F * 
        rotatedVector : Vector3F -> QuaternionF

Parameters

startVector: Type: DigitalRune.Mathematics.AlgebraVector3F
The initial vector. (Vector does not need to be normalized.)
rotatedVector: Type: DigitalRune.Mathematics.AlgebraVector3F
The rotated vector. (Vector does not need to be normalized.)

Return Value

Type: QuaternionF
The created unit quaternion that would rotate startVector to rotatedVector.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The length of the startVector and rotatedVector must not be 0.

Remarks

The quaternion is set to a rotation that would rotate vector startVector to the orientation of vector rotatedVector.
