Rotation

Defines a rotation that transforms a vector expressed in one axes and transforms it to another.

Properties

unitQuaternion - UnitQuaternionValue

The rotation specified as a 4-dimensional unit magnitude quaternion, specified as [X, Y, Z, W].

reference - ReferenceValue

The rotation specified as a reference to another property.

delete - boolean

Whether the client should delete existing samples or interval data for this property. Data will be deleted for the containing interval, or if there is no containing interval, then all data. If true, all other properties in this property will be ignored.
