Remarks

The identity quaternion is (0, 0, 0, 1), where the quaternion values are listed in the order (x, y, z, w).

These quaternion values do not directly indicate an angle of rotation and an axis.

Fields

W W W W

Edit

The w component of the quaternion, which is the real number part of the quaternion.

X X X X

Edit

The x component of the quaternion, which is the coefficient of the i unit vector in the quaternion.

Y Y Y Y

Edit

The y component of the quaternion, which is the coefficient of the j unit vector in the quaternion.

Z Z Z Z

Edit

The z component of the quaternion, which is the coefficient of the k unit vector in the quaternion.
