- These build quaternions in a way similar to the way polar builds complex numbers,
- as there is no strict equivalent to polar coordinates for quaternions.
- </p>
- <p>
- <a name="math_quaternions.creation_spherical"></a><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">spherical</span></code>
- is a simple transposition of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">polar</span></code>,
- it takes as inputs a (positive) magnitude and a point on the hypersphere, given
- by three angles. The first of these, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">theta</span></code>
- has a natural range of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">pi</span></code>
- to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">+</span><span class="identifier">pi</span></code>,
- and the other two have natural ranges of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">pi</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="number">2</span></code>
- to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">+</span><span class="identifier">pi</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="number">2</span></code> (as is the
- case with the usual spherical coordinates in <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>R<sup>3</sup></strong></span></em></span>).
- Due to the many symmetries and periodicities, nothing untoward happens if the
- magnitude is negative or the angles are outside their natural ranges. The expected
- degeneracies (a magnitude of zero ignores the angles settings...) do happen
- however.
- </p>
- <p>
- <a name="math_quaternions.creation_cylindrical"></a><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cylindrical</span></code>
- is likewise a simple transposition of the usual cylindrical coordinates in
- <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>R<sup>3</sup></strong></span></em></span>, which in turn is another
- derivative of planar polar coordinates. The first two inputs are the polar
- coordinates of the first <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>C</strong></span></em></span>
- component of the quaternion. The third and fourth inputs are placed into the
- third and fourth <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>R</strong></span></em></span> components
- of the quaternion, respectively.
- </p>
- <p>
- <a name="math_quaternions.creation_multipolar"></a><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">multipolar</span></code>
- is yet another simple generalization of polar coordinates. This time, both
- <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>C</strong></span></em></span> components of the quaternion
- are given in polar coordinates.
- </p>
- <p>
- <a name="math_quaternions.creation_cylindrospherical"></a><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cylindrospherical</span></code>
- is specific to quaternions. It is often interesting to consider <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>H</strong></span></em></span> as the cartesian product of <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>R</strong></span></em></span> by <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>R<sup>3</sup></strong></span></em></span>
- (the quaternionic multiplication as then a special form, as given here). This
- function therefore builds a quaternion from this representation, with the
- <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>R<sup>3</sup></strong></span></em></span> component given in usual
- <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>R<sup>3</sup></strong></span></em></span> spherical coordinates.
- </p>
- <p>
- <a name="math_quaternions.creation_semipolar"></a><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">semipolar</span></code>
- is another generator which is specific to quaternions. It takes as a first
- input the magnitude of the quaternion, as a second input an angle in the range
- <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">0</span></code> to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">+</span><span class="identifier">pi</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="number">2</span></code>
- such that magnitudes of the first two <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>C</strong></span></em></span>
- components of the quaternion are the product of the first input and the sine
- and cosine of this angle, respectively, and finally as third and fourth inputs
- angles in the range <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">pi</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="number">2</span></code> to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">+</span><span class="identifier">pi</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="number">2</span></code> which represent the arguments of the first
- and second <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>C</strong></span></em></span> components
- of the quaternion, respectively. As usual, nothing untoward happens if what
- should be magnitudes are negative numbers or angles are out of their natural
- ranges, as symmetries and periodicities kick in.
- </p>
- <p>
- In this version of our implementation of quaternions, there is no analogue
- of the complex value operation <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">arg</span></code>
- as the situation is somewhat more complicated. Unit quaternions are linked
- both to rotations in <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>R<sup>3</sup></strong></span></em></span>
- and in <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>R<sup>4</sup></strong></span></em></span>, and the correspondences
- are not too complicated, but there is currently a lack of standard (de facto
- or de jure) matrix library with which the conversions could work. This should
- be remedied in a further revision. In the mean time, an example of how this
- could be done is presented here for <a href="../../../example/HSO3.hpp" target="_top"><span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>R<sup>3</sup></strong></span></em></span></a>, and here for <a href="../../../example/HSO4.hpp" target="_top"><span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>R<sup>4</sup></strong></span></em></span></a> (<a href="../../../example/HSO3SO4.cpp" target="_top">example
- test file</a>).
