This set of routines provides a useful basis for working with quaternions in Octave. A tutorial is in the Octave source, scripts/quaternion/quaternion.ps. These functions were written by A. S. Hodel, Associate Professor, Auburn University. @DOCSTRING(quaternion) @DOCSTRING(qconj) @DOCSTRING(qderiv) @DOCSTRING(qderivmat) @DOCSTRING(qinv) @DOCSTRING(qmult) @DOCSTRING(qtrans) @DOCSTRING(qtransv) @DOCSTRING(qtransvmat) @DOCSTRING(qcoordinate_plot)
