public class SbRotationd
extends SbBasic
```
Class for representing a rotation (double precision). Object that stores a rotation using double precision values. Although Open Inventor fields still store only single precision values, for certain applications it is useful and convenient to be able to store and manipulate double precision values, for example, double precision coordinate data or values that will be used for further computation.
The rotation value is stored internally as a quaternion. Quaternion representation is more compact, faster to compute and more numerically stable than rotation matrices. Quaternion representation allows smooth rotation (spherical linear interpolation) and avoids the problem of "gimbal lock" associated with Euler angles. It is not necessary to deal directly with quaternions. Many convenience methods are provided to set and get rotations using matrix and axis/angle representations.
Rotations are most commonly specified using an axis and an angle in radians. A common mistake is to use the constructor or setValue method that takes four double values, when intending to set an axis and angle. The methods that take four double values directly specify the quaternion value, which is probably not the intended result. For example:
```
 // Create a rotation of PI/2 radians around the Z axis:
 
 // Incorrect.
 // (Compiles, but actually sets the quaternion value directly!)
 SbRotationd rotation1 = new SbRotationd(0, 0, 1, 1.5707963);
 
 // This is the correct rotation.
 SbRotationd rotation2 = new SbRotationd(new SbVec3d(0, 0, 1), 1.5707963);
```
