DREAM3D User Manual
Update Cell Quaternions

Group (Subgroup)

Generic Filters (Crystallography)

Description

Versions of DREAM3D prior to 4.2 used a 5 component Quaternion for code compatibility with other developments codes. Updates to internal structures has removed this need and DREAM3D versions 4.2 and forward use a standard 4 component quaternion (x, y, z, w). This filter updates quaternion arrays for each Cell that have 5 components to the newer 4 component structure.

This filter will replace the current 5 component quaternion with a 4 component representation. The actual data is not changed in this filter.

Parameters

None

Required DataContainers

Voxel

Required Arrays

Type Default Name Description Filters Known to Create Data
Cell Quats Five (5) values (floats) that specify the orientation of the Cell in quaternion representation. The first value is a dummy value, so each Cell has quat = {dummy, x, y, z, w} - where x, y, and z contain the axis information and w contains the angle information of the quaternion Find Cell Quaternions (Generic)

Created Arrays

Type Default Array Name Description Comment
Cell Quats Four (4) values (floats) that specify the orientation of the Cell in quaternion representation A standard quaternion definition of (X, Y, Z, W)
