Maths - Matrix to Quaternion Program

Maths - Matrix to Quaternion - Program

This program allows you to enter euler angles and see the change in orientation. The program was written by David Souther and Martin Baker. The copyright owner is Martin Baker.

Mark has made me aware of a problem with this program giving incorrect results, I will update it but it will take me some time, in the meantime I suggest its best not to use it.

If the program is not displayed above,

Check that Java Code is enabled in your browser.
Check that you have at least java 1.3 or later installed on your computer.

see troubleshooting.
