[SciPy-user] quaternion and slerp interpolator, and all that

[killian koepsell]

Hi,

I have a related question. I have programmed a couple of
quaternion-valued functions and used arrays with a customized numpy
dtype for it. Something like

  dtype = [('r',np.double),('i',np.double),('j',np.double),('k',np.double)]

Now, I am wondering if there is an easy way (e.g. using cython) to
define a custom quaternion scalar type and make numpy aware of it. I
found some information in the numpy book about this topic but couldn't
find any example code.

If anyone has working example code, that would be great -- as I said,
ideally using cython, but c code would be fine too.

Thanks,
  Kilian
