QuaternionDCreateRotation Method (Vector3D, Vector3D)

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 QuaternionD CreateRotation(
	Vector3D startVector,
	Vector3D rotatedVector
)

Public Shared Function CreateRotation ( 
	startVector As Vector3D,
	rotatedVector As Vector3D
) As QuaternionD

public:
static QuaternionD CreateRotation(
	Vector3D startVector, 
	Vector3D rotatedVector
)

static member CreateRotation : 
        startVector : Vector3D * 
        rotatedVector : Vector3D -> QuaternionD

Parameters

startVector: Type: DigitalRune.Mathematics.AlgebraVector3D
The initial vector. (Vector does not need to be normalized.)
rotatedVector: Type: DigitalRune.Mathematics.AlgebraVector3D
The rotated vector. (Vector does not need to be normalized.)

Return Value

Type: QuaternionD
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.
