SIQuaternion.GetXYZAngleValues

Introduced

v3.5

Description

Returns the X,Y,Z Euler angles (in radians) for this quaternion.

Warning: Scripting languages that do not support output arguments (JScript, PerlScript and PythonScript) should use the alternative method SIQuaternion.GetXYZAngleValues2.

Scripting Syntax

SIQuaternion.GetXYZAngleValues( x, y, z );

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
x Double X Euler angle in radians
y Double Y Euler angle in radians
z Double Z Euler angle in radians
