Re: [ggt-devel] setRotX()?

[Mikhail G. <bb...@ma...>]

Well, what I want is to rotate Axis 
component of AxisAngle, but only 
around one axis.
something like this:

//rotate around Z axis

gmtl::AxisAnglef aa;
float oldx = aa[1], oldy = aa[2];
aa[1] = oldx*cos(theta) - 
oldy*sin(theta);
aa[2] = oldx*sin(theta) + 
oldy*sin(theta);

It would be simpler and more 
readable to write

gmtl::setRotZ(aa, theta);
