# GLKQuaternionMakeWithAngleAndVector3Axis(_:_:)

Creates a quaternion that represents a rotation around an axis.

## Declaration

```swift
func GLKQuaternionMakeWithAngleAndVector3Axis(_ radians: Float, _ axisVector: GLKVector3) -> GLKQuaternion
```

## Parameters

- `radians`: The angle of the rotation in radians (a positive angle is counterclockwise).
- `axisVector`: The axis of rotation.

## Return Value

Return Value A new quaternion.
