    • fromAxes

      public QuaternionDouble fromAxes(Vector3d xAxis, Vector3d yAxis, Vector3d zAxis)

      xAxis - vector representing the x-axis of the coordinate system.
      yAxis - vector representing the y-axis of the coordinate system.
      zAxis - vector representing the z-axis of the coordinate system.
