from_semipolar

kyosu::from_semipolar = eve::functor<from_semipolar_t>

inlineconstexpr

Callable object computing a quaternion from its semipolar representation.

This function build quaternions in a way similar to the way polar builds complex numbers from a polar representation of an \(\mathbb{R}^2\) element.

Header file

Parameters

• r, alpha, theta1, theta2

Return value

the quaternion value.

Example

#include <kyosu/kyosu.hpp>
#include <eve/wide.hpp>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
  using kyosu::from_semipolar;
 
  auto rho = 2.0;
  auto alpha  = eve::pio_3(eve::as(rho));
  auto theta1 = eve::pio_4(eve::as(rho));
  auto theta2 = eve::pio_2(eve::as(rho));
  std::cout << " <- rho " << rho << std::endl;
  std::cout << " <- alpha " << alpha<< std::endl;
  std::cout << " <- theta1 " << theta1<< std::endl;
  std::cout << " <- theta2 " << theta2<< std::endl;
  std::cout << " -> " << from_semipolar(rho, alpha, theta1, theta2) << "\n";
 
  return 0;
