Rotation:
- Add a private attribute Vector to store the direction of the rotation, and manage not to erase this direction when the angle id 0.
- Add a private attribute to store the angle as defined (no modulo etc)
- Keep the quaternion for calculations
PropertyGeo
- Saves the rotation with angle and direction instead of saving the quaternion.
- Attribute name chosen: Ox, Oy and Oz for the coordinates of the axis and A for the angle in radians. This has to be validated.
- Backward compatibility with the saved files with quaternion (test presence of A to determine which of the Quaternion (old way) or the direction and angle is stored (new way). New files can be opened by old FreeCAD and vice-versa.
The only side effect I can imagine is that it was possible to set a vector to 0, 0, 0 if the angle was not 0, what is somehow non sense. Now when setting to 0, 0 0 the last not null vector is kept. The vector can not be null any longer.
issue 0000995
diff to py3-branch will remain in the following files in src/App:
- ExtensionContainer.cpp
- FeaturePythonPyImp.h +.inl
most likely these files depend on Tools and Base
Move from float to double
Further suggestions for float -> double move
Moved Tools2D from float to double
More suggestions for float->double move from Gui subdirectory
Changes to FEM constraint visuals for float->double move
Suggested changes for float -> double move
