rotation_direction in Quaternion_​Plus_​Direction

Name: rotation_directionVersion Id: 1.0.0.0
Description: The rotation_direction attribute identifies the direction of the rotation for a specific quaternion. This is used when the two frames involved are unambiguously identifed in the enclosing classes.

 ForwardReference frames are generally defined sequentially from a base reference frame (e.g., base frames might be ICRF, IAU Mars, or the landing site from which a rover begins its exploration). rotation_direction = Forward corresponds to rotation in the 'direction' from the base frame.
 From BaseReference frames are generally defined sequentially from a base reference frame (e.g., base frames might be ICRF, IAU Mars, or the landing site from which a rover begins its exploration). rotation_direction = Away From Base corresponds to rotation in the 'direction' from the base frame.
 Present to ReferenceThe quaternion rotates the frame identifed by Coordinate_Space_Present to the frame identified by Coordinate_Space_Reference.
 Reference to PresentThe quaternion rotates the frame identifed by Coordinate_Space_Reference to the frame identified by Coordinate_Space_Present.
 ReverseReference frames are generally defined sequentially from a base reference frame (e.g., base frames might be ICRF, IAU Mars, or the landing site from which a rover begins its exploration). rotation_direction = Reverse corresponds to rotation toward the base frame.
 Toward BaseReference frames are generally defined sequentially from a base reference frame (e.g., base frames might be ICRF, IAU Mars, or the landing site from which a rover begins its exploration). rotation_direction = Toward Base corresponds to rotation toward the base frame.
