[Interest] Rotating leaves

[Igor Mironchik]

Hello,

The task is simple on one side and complicated on another. I need to 
rotate a leaf around a branch to make leaf perpendicular to branch.

In theory all is simple...

Theory

Great. In the code I have...

const QVector3D branch(...);
const QVector3D leaf( 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f );
const QVector3D axis = QVector3D::crossProduct( branch, leaf );
const float cosPlainAngle = QVector3D::dotProduct( branch, leaf );
const float plainAngle = qRadiansToDegrees( std::acos( cosPlainAngle ) );
const QQuaternion quat = Qt3DCore::QTransform::fromAxisAndAngle( axis, 
plainAngle );
m_transform->setRotation( quat );

But it works correctly not in all situations. In some cases I need to 
increment plainAngle by 90.0 degrees.

So my question is what should I care in the code to handle all 
situations correctly?

Thank you.
