Automatic conversion of quaternions to angles? #15

Open skohlbr opened 7 years ago

skohlbr commented 7 years ago

A use case that pops up quite frequently is visualization of orientation data. Given that the standard representation are quaternions, the orientation they represent cannot be visualized easily by plotting (not counting the few % of people who can "see" quaternion orientations here). It would thus be very nice to optionally generate a rpy angle representation and plot that for quaternion data. Thoughts if this could be implemented somehow (i.e. perhaps via plugins for certain types or so)?

Good Suggestion. Wish I had more time dig into this too. Any hints to modified ;P

That's a nice idea. However, I don't know how it would be the best way to implement. Perhaps @kralf can give a hint.
