## NAME

quat\_interpolate - Constructs a quaternion representing a rotation between from and to. Allegro game programming library.

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<allegro.h\>**

**void quat\_interpolate(const QUAT \*from, const QUAT \*to, float t, QUAT \*out);**

## DESCRIPTION

Constructs a quaternion that represents a rotation between from and to.  The argument t can be anything between 0 and 1 and represents where  between from and to the result will be. 0 returns from, 1 returns to, and  0.5 will return a rotation exactly in between. The result is copied to  out. This function will create the short rotation (less than 180 degrees)  between from and to.
