Struct cgmath::Euler [−] [src]

pub struct Euler<A: Angle> {
    pub x: A,
    pub y: A,
    pub z: A,
}

A set of Euler angles representing a rotation in three-dimensional space.

This type is marked as #[repr(C, packed)].

The axis rotation sequence is XYZ. That is, the rotation is first around the X axis, then the Y axis, and lastly the Z axis (using intrinsic rotations). Since all three rotation axes are used, the angles are Tait–Bryan angles rather than proper Euler angles.

Ranges

Defining rotations using Euler angles

Note that while Euler angles are intuitive to define, they are prone to gimbal lock and are challenging to interpolate between. Instead we recommend that you convert them to a more robust representation, such as a quaternion or or rotation matrix. To this end, From<Euler<A>> conversions are provided for the following types:

For example, to define a quaternion that applies the following:

  1. a 90° rotation around the x axis
  2. a 45° rotation around the y axis
  3. a 15° rotation around the z axis

you can use the following code:

use cgmath::{Deg, Euler, Quaternion};

let rotation = Quaternion::from(Euler {
    x: Deg::new(90.0),
    y: Deg::new(45.0),
    z: Deg::new(15.0),
});

Fields

x: A

The angle to apply around the x axis. Also known at the pitch.

y: A

The angle to apply around the y axis. Also known at the yaw.

z: A

The angle to apply around the z axis. Also known at the roll.
