Method Details
- apply
  
  Vector3D apply(Vector3D vec)
  
  Apply this rotation to the given argument. Since rotations do not affect vector magnitudes, this method can be applied to both points and vectors.
  
  Specified by:
  
  apply in interface Function<Vector3D,Vector3D>
  
  Parameters:
  
  vec - the point or vector to rotate
  
  Returns:
  
  a new instance representing the rotated point or vector
- inverse
  
  Rotation3D inverse()
  
  Get the inverse rotation.
  
  Specified by:
  
  inverse in interface Transform<Vector3D>
  
  Returns:
  
  the inverse rotation.
- getAxis
  Vector3D getAxis()
  
  Get the axis of rotation as a normalized Vector3D.
  All 3-dimensional rotations and sequences of rotations can be reduced to a single rotation around one axis. This method returns that axis.
  
  Returns:
  
  the axis of rotation
