[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Sets up control points for spherical quadrangle interpolation.

Namespace:  Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX
Assembly:  Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX (in Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Sub SquadSetup ( _
    ByRef outA As Quaternion, _
    ByRef outB As Quaternion, _
    ByRef outC As Quaternion, _
    q0 As Quaternion, _

'Usage
Dim outA As Quaternion
Dim outB As Quaternion
Dim outC As Quaternion
Dim q0 As Quaternion
Dim q1 As Quaternion

Parameters

Remarks

This method takes four control points, which are supplied to the inputs q0, q1, q2, and q3 and alters their values to find a curve that flows along the shortest path. The values of q0, q2, and q3 are calculated as shown below.

q0 = |q0 + q1|

Having calculated the new q values, the values for outA, outB, and outC are calculated as shown below.

outA = q1 * exp[–0.25 *( Ln[Exp(q1)*q2] + Ln[Exp(q1)*q0] ) ]

outB = q2 * exp[–0.25 *( Ln[Exp(q2)*q3] + Ln[Exp(q2)*q1] ) ]

outC = q2

The preceding examples use the Ln and Exp methods.
