/*!
    \class QQuaternion
    \brief The QQuaternion class represents a quaternion consisting of a vector and scalar.
    \since 4.6

    Quaternions are used to represent rotations in 3D space, and
    consist of a 3D rotation axis specified by the x, y, and z
    coordinates, and a scalar representing the rotation angle.

    The components of a quaternion are stored internally using the most
    efficient representation for the GL rendering engine, which will be
    either floating-point or fixed-point.
