	GetQuat
Returns the positions quaternion in (X,Y,Z,W) array
- HANDLE	Handle
The position or component to read
- HANDLE	Target
The position or component to convert relative to
- FLOAT[]	Return

Detailed description

Examples

Calling in a calculation

Declare a variable 'result' of type FLOAT[]

Add to a calculation icon:

result = ::Panel.Position.GetQuat(handle, target)

Flowcode example file

Download SIMAPI_Panel_Position_GetQuat and open it in Flowcode v6. In this example a blue cuboid and a LCD are shown on the system panel. When the program starts, a wikipedia:Quaternion of the cuboid is returned into an existing Float Array variable. The Quaternion values are then displayed on the LCD display.

The screenshots below show the effect and also highlight the code used by the example.
