Q2EV: Convert from rotation Quaternions to Euler Vectors

In RSpincalc: Conversion Between Attitude Representations of DCM, Euler Angles, Quaternions, and Euler Vectors

Description

Q2EV converts from Quaternions (Q) to Euler Vectors (EV).

Usage

Q2EV(Q, tol = 10 * .Machine$double.eps, ichk = FALSE, ignoreAllChk = FALSE)

Arguments

Q	Quaternion (Q) vector [q1, q2, q3, q4].
tol	Tolerance from deviations from unity for the determinant of rotation matrices or the the vector length for unitary vectors.
ichk	Logical, FALSE=disables near-singularity warnings.
ignoreAllChk	Logical, TRUE=disables all warnings and error checks (use with caution!).

Value

Euler Vectors (EV) vector [m1, m2, m3, MU].
