| + | A quaternion is an mathematical object (like a matrix or a complex number) with four parameters x y z w. It is useful to express orientations and rotations, and to do calculations (combining, interpolating, dissecting) on them. Jmol shows structures (e.g. atom positions) on a display and allows the view to be rotated and individual atomic positions to be manipulated. | ||
