XMQuaternionRotationAxis function (directxmath.h)
Computes a rotation quaternion about an axis.
Syntax
XMVECTOR XM_CALLCONV XMQuaternionRotationAxis(
[in] FXMVECTOR Axis,
[in] float Angle
) noexcept;
Parameters
[in] Axis
3D vector describing the axis of rotation.
[in] Angle
Angle of rotation in radians. Angles are measured clockwise when looking along the rotation axis toward the origin.
Return value
Returns the rotation quaternion.
Remarks
The DirectXMath quaternion functions use an XMVECTOR 4-vector to represent quaternions, where the X, Y, and Z components are the vector part and the W component is the scalar part.
If Axis is a normalized vector, it is faster to use XMQuaternionRotationNormal
