D3DXQuaternionRotationMatrix

The D3DXQuaternionRotationMatrix function builds a quaternion from a rotation matrix.

D3DXQUATERNION* D3DXQuaternionRotationMatrix(
  D3DXQUATERNION* pOut,
  const D3DXMATRIX* pM
); 

Parameters

pOut

A pointer to the D3DXQUATERNION structure that is the result of the operation.

pM

A pointer to the source D3DXMATRIX structure.

Return Values

A pointer to the D3DXQUATERNION structure built from a given rotation matrix.

Remarks

The return value for this function is the same value returned in the pOut parameter. In this way, the D3DXQuaternionRotationMatrix function can be used as a parameter for another function.
