Hi,
I normally like to think about the heading, attitude and bank as just
rotations about certain axes. In osg you can make a quat using e.g.:
// angles in radians, yaw, pitch, roll
double y,p,r;
osg::Quat ori = osg::Quat(r, osg::Vec3(1,0,0),
p, osg::Vec3(0,1,0),
y, osg::Vec3(0,0,1));
Change the order/axes for your app. Try to do all the scaling using
quats. Either by multiplying them together, or changing the r,p,y values
in the code above.

Dear all:
Appreciate any answer on the topic:
I am reading an orientation / rotation matrix info from a sensor, then
visualizing the rotation of an object on screen with OSG. Given the
matrix or the resulting quaternion I need to be able to scale the
rotations independently, i.e.
heading_scale*heading_angle, heading_scale=<0,1>
attitude_scale*attitude_angle
bank_scale*bank_angle
in order to be able to control them on its own or restrict the rotation
to one angle only.
I have written 2 functions. The first one converts a quaternion to the
Euler angles, the other one does the opposite. In between the calls to
the functions I am trying to scale the rotations or switch them on/off
as needed.
The results are not quite good, however, and I often get trapped in the
famous "gimbal lock" as probably expected. :-)
Q: Is there any other possibility to handle rotations on its own? Is
there a way to do that without running the conversion, scaling, then
converting back to quat ?
All I have is the rotation matrix.
Appreciate any answer/advice or pointing me in the right direction.
Best regards,
Janusz Goldasz
