  *
  * \brief The quaternion class used to represent 3D orientations and rotations
  *
  * \param _Scalar the scalar type, i.e., the type of the coefficients
  *
  * This class represents a quaternion \f$ w+xi+yj+zk \f$ that is a convenient representation of
  * orientations and rotations of objects in three dimensions. Compared to other representations
  * like Euler angles or 3x3 matrices, quatertions offer the following advantages:
  * \li \b compact storage (4 scalars)
  * \li \b efficient to compose (28 flops),
  * \li \b stable spherical interpolation
  *
  * The following two typedefs are provided for convenience:
  * \li \c Quaternionf for \c float
  * \li \c Quaterniond for \c double
  *
  * \sa  class AngleAxis, class Transform
