Microsoft DirectX 8.1 (C++)

D3DXQuaternionConjugate

Returns the conjugate of a quaternion.

D3DXQUATERNION* D3DXQuaternionConjugate(
  D3DXQUATERNION* pOut,
  CONST D3DXQUATERNION* pQ
); 

Parameters

pOut
[in, out] Pointer to the D3DXQUATERNION structure that is the result of the operation.
pQ
[in] Pointer to the source D3DXQUATERNION structure.

Return Values

Pointer to a D3DXQUATERNION structure that is the conjugate of the quaternion.

Remarks

Given a quaternion (x, y, z, w), the D3DXQuaternionConjugate function will return the quaternion (-x, -y, -z, w).

The return value for this function is the same value returned in the pOut parameter. In this way, the D3DXQuaternionConjugate function can be used as a parameter for another function.

Requirements

  Header: Declared in D3dx8math.h.
  Import Library: Use D3dx8.lib.
