Type

(Quat)

__add__(other)

Overloads:

• Quat Returns addition of Vector A and Vector B (A + B)

__eq__(other)

Overloads:

• Quat Returns true if Quaternion A is equal to Quaternion B (A == B) within a specified error tolerance

__iadd__(other)

Overloads:

• Quat Returns addition of Vector A and Vector B (A + B)

__imul__(other)

Overloads:

• Quat Gets the result of multiplying two quaternions (A * B).

  Order matters when composing quaternions: C = A * B will yield a quaternion C that logically first applies B then A to any subsequent transformation (right first, then left).

  @param B The Quaternion to multiply by. @return The result of multiplication (A * B).

__isub__(other)

Overloads:

• Quat Returns subtraction of Vector B from Vector A (A - B)

__mul__(other)

Overloads:

• Quat Gets the result of multiplying two quaternions (A * B).

  Order matters when composing quaternions: C = A * B will yield a quaternion C that logically first applies B then A to any subsequent transformation (right first, then left).

  @param B The Quaternion to multiply by. @return The result of multiplication (A * B).

__ne__(other)

Overloads:

• Quat Returns true if Quat A is not equal to Quat B (A != B) within a specified error tolerance

__sub__(other)

Overloads:

• Quat Returns subtraction of Vector B from Vector A (A - B)
