Rotates a quaternion about an arbitrary axis.

D3DXQuaternionRotationAxis( _ 
    QOut As D3DQUATERNION, _ 
    VAxis As D3DVECTOR, _ 
    angle As Single)

Parameters

QOut
D3DQUATERNION type that is the result of the operation, a quaternion rotated around the specified axis.
VAxis
D3DVECTOR type that identifies the axis angle.
angle
Angle of rotation, in radians. Angles are measured clockwise when looking along the rotation axis toward the origin.
