Examples

1. VBScript Example

    set quaternion = XSIMath.CreateQuaternion
    Application.LogMessage TypeName(quaternion)

2. JScript Example

    /* Set and display the values of a quaternion
    */
    var oQuat = XSIMath.CreateQuaternion(0.615, -0.764, -0.122, 0.152);
    var vbArr = new VBArray( oQuat.Get2() );
    var array = vbArr.toArray();
    Application.LogMessage( "W, X, Y and Z quaterion's values: " + array[0] +","
    + array[1] +","+ array[2] +","+ array[3] );
    //Expected output:
    //INFO : W, X, Y and Z quaterion's values: 0.615,-0.764,-0.122,0.152
