M@ Dunlap commented on MATH-847:
--------------------------------
Sure. Can we ammend it to ask that the part of the javadoc that describes this
be moved from the one constructor to the whole class since it applies no matter
how the rotation is constructed?
> Using Rotation to convert Euler angles to Quaternions produces wrong results

> Key: MATH-847
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-847
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Environment: 1.6
> Reporter: M@ Dunlap
>
> import org.apache.commons.math3.geometry.euclidean.threed.Rotation;
> import org.apache.commons.math3.geometry.euclidean.threed.RotationOrder;
> public class temp {
> public static void main(String args[]) {
> Rotation r = new Rotation(RotationOrder.XYZ, -Math.PI / 2d, 0, 0);
> System.out.println("(" + r.getQ0() + " " + r.getQ1() + " " + r.getQ2() +
> " " + r.getQ3() + ")");
> }
> }
> Prints (0.707 0.707 0.0 0.0) (in-sig-figs elided), but when I type the same
> thing into Wolfram Alpha I get (.707 -.707 0 0) (note the negative) see:
> http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=euler+angles&a=*C.euler+angles-_*Formula.dflt-&a=*FP.EulerRotation.EAS-_e123&f3=-pi%2F2+rad&f=EulerRotation.th1_-pi%2F2+rad&f4=0&f=EulerRotation.th2_0&f5=0&f=EulerRotation.th3_0
> One of the guys in the lab suggested that if Rotation is assuming the Euler
> angle is in a left-handed coordinate space this is an expected result, but if
> that's the case the question is, why is the less popular coordinate system
> the only option?
