y#
- Quaternion.y#
Second element of the vector part of the Quaternion.
Given a quaternion \(\mathbf{q}=\begin{pmatrix}q_w & \mathbf{q}_v\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}q_w & q_x & q_y & q_z\end{pmatrix}\), the third element of the vector part is \(q_y\).
- Returns:
q_y – Second element of vector part of the quaternion.
- Return type:
float
Examples
>>> q = Quaternion([2.0, -3.0, 4.0, -5.0]) >>> q.view() Quaternion([ 0.27216553, -0.40824829, 0.54433105, -0.68041382]) >>> q.y 0.5443310539518174
It can also be accessed directly, treating the Quaternion as an array:
>>> q[2] 0.5443310539518174
