Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OrientationByEulerAngles() [1/3]

OrientationByEulerAngles

(

EulerAnglesSet

eulerAnglesSet

)

Constructor that gets Euler angles as one set.

Parameters

eulerAnglesSet

Set of Euler angles.

OrientationByEulerAngles() [2/3]

OrientationByEulerAngles	(	double	eulerPsi,
		double	eulerTheta,
		double	eulerPhi
	)

OrientationByEulerAngles() [3/3]

OrientationByEulerAngles

(

OrientationByEulerAngles

orientationToCopy

)

Copy constructor

Parameters

orientationToCopy

orientation object to copy

Member Function Documentation

Clone()

override OrientationDefinitionBase Clone ( )

virtual

Creates a new object that is a copy of the current instance.

Returns

A new object that is a copy of this instance.

Implements OrientationDefinitionBase.

CorrespondingQuaternion()

override Quaternion CorrespondingQuaternion ( )

virtual

Gets the quaternion corresponding to this orientation definition.

Returns

The quaternion corresponding to this orientation definition.

Implements OrientationDefinitionBase.

Equals()

override bool Equals	(	object	otherObject,
		EqualityIntent	equalityIntent
	)

Determines whether the specified Object is equal to this instance. Please note: If just the resulting orientation of this and the otherObject shall be compared, the method IsEquivalent of the base class should be used.

Parameters

otherObject	The Object to compare with this instance.
equalityIntent	Defines what kind of equality you want to check when comparing two objects, for example all values or physical equality.

Returns

true if the specified Object is equal to this instance; otherwise, false.

ToString() [1/2]

override string ToString

(

)

Converts a OrientationByEulerAngles into a string of format (Psi; Theta; Phi). For the creation of the string the default number of digits specified in Globals.DefaultDigitPrecision will be used.

Returns

String containing the Euler angles information.

ToString() [2/2]

string ToString

(

int

digitPrecision

)

Converts a OrientationByEulerAngles into a string of format (Psi; Theta; Phi).

Parameters

digitPrecision

number of digits the values are rounded to.

Returns

String containing the Euler angles information.
