Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OrientationByMatrix() [1/2]

OrientationByMatrix

(

Matrix3x3D

rotationMatrix

)

Constructor which gets a rotation matrix.

Parameters

rotationMatrix

Rotation matrix which describes the orientation.

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()

override string ToString

(

)

Overridden ToString method.

Returns

A System.String that represents this instance.
