	/*! \brief The Quaternion class represents 3D rotations and orientations.
	\class Quaternion quaternion.h QGLViewer/quaternion.h

	The Quaternion is an appropriate (although not very intuitive) representation for 3D rotations and
	orientations. Many tools are provided to ease the definition of a Quaternion: see constructors,
	setAxisAngle(), setFromRotationMatrix(), setFromRotatedBasis().

	You can apply the rotation represented by the Quaternion to 3D points using rotate() and
	inverseRotate(). See also the Frame class that represents a coordinate system and provides other
	conversion functions like Frame::coordinatesOf() and Frame::transformOf().

	You can apply the Quaternion \c q rotation to the OpenGL matrices using:
	\code
	glMultMatrixd(q.matrix());
	// equvalent to glRotate(q.angle()*180.0/M_PI, q.axis().x, q.axis().y, q.axis().z);
	\endcode

	Quaternion is part of the \c qglviewer namespace, specify \c qglviewer::Quaternion or use the qglviewer
	namespace: \code using namespace qglviewer; \endcode

	<h3>Internal representation</h3>

	The internal representation of a Quaternion corresponding to a rotation around axis \c axis, with an angle
	\c alpha is made of four doubles q[i]:
	\code
	{q[0],q[1],q[2]} = sin(alpha/2) * {axis[0],axis[1],axis[2]}
	q[3] = cos(alpha/2)
	\endcode

	Note that certain implementations place the cosine term in first position (instead of last here).

	The Quaternion is always normalized, so that its inverse() is actually its conjugate.

	See also the Vec and Frame classes' documentations.
