3d plot of orientation space in quaternion coordinates
An orientation is drawn at its rotational axis scaled by sin(angle/2), i.e. at the imaginary part of its unit quaternion. Since sin is not monotone on the full range, rotations by more than 180 degree fold back.
Syntax
plot(ori,'quaternion')Options
| ignoreFundamentalRegion | plot orientations as they are |
| project2FundamentalRegion | project into the fundamental region, default |
| restrict2FundamentalRegion | drop orientations outside it |
| noBoundary | do not plot the boundary |
Class Properties
| oR | orientationRegion drawn as the boundary |
| CS1, CS2 | the two symmetry |
| ax | the axes handle |
