ROS1中使用from tf.transformations import quaternion_from_euler导入quaternion_from_euler()即可调用。而ROS2中默认没有安装，需要单独安装一下ros-galactic-tf-transformations(我使用的ROS2是galactic，根据版本名不同做相应修改即可)：
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ros-galactic-tf-transformations然后导入包，不过包名改成了tf_transformations
import tf_transformations
# 将欧拉角转换为四元数（roll, pitch, yaw）
q = tf_transformations.quaternion_from_euler(roll, pitch, yaw)
# 将四元素转换成欧拉角
euler = tf_transformations.euler_from_quaternion([x, y, z, w])不安装tf_transformations的话，还可以安装其它工具包来替代，例如python的第三方quaternions包:
pip install quaternions -i http://mirrors.aliyun.com/pypi/simple/ --trusted-host mirrors.aliyun.comfrom quaternions import Quaternion as Quaternion
euler = [0.98012,0.5232,0.2105] # ROLL PITCH HEADING
q = Quaternion.from_euler(euler, axes = ['y', 'y', 'x']) # a= (w, x, y, z)
e = Quaternion.get_euler(q) # e = (Heading, Pitch, Roll)需要注意的是ROS在gemetry_msgs包里已定义有Quaternion类，另外ROS1里tf2里也定义有Quaternion，同时使用时注意用别名或包名区分。
另外，也可以安装trimesh工具包后使用里面的quaternion_from_euler
pip3.8 install trimesh -i http://mirrors.aliyun.com/pypi/simple/ --trusted-host mirrors.aliyun.comfrom trimesh.transformations import quaternion_from_euler
from geometry_msgs.msg import Quaternion as GeoQuaternion
def createQuaternionFromYaw(yaw):
q = quaternion_from_euler(0, 0, yaw)
return GeoQuaternion(x=q[0],y=q[1],z=q[2],w=q[3])看一下trimesh里/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/trimesh/transformations.py里的quaternion_from_euler()的源码和/opt/ros/galactic/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tf_transformations/__init__.py里的quaternion_from_euler()代码，发现功能实现基本一致：

def quaternion_from_euler(roll, pitch, yaw):
cy = math.cos(yaw * 0.5)
sy = math.sin(yaw * 0.5)
cp = math.cos(pitch * 0.5)
sp = math.sin(pitch * 0.5)
cr = math.cos(roll * 0.5)
sr = math.sin(roll * 0.5)
q = [0] * 4
q[0] = cy * cp * cr + sy * sp * sr
q[1] = cy * cp * sr - sy * sp * cr
q[2] = sy * cp * sr + cy * sp * cr
q[3] = sy * cp * cr - cy * sp * sr
return q可以看到这个实现没有提供坐标轴顺序参数axes，按默认的sxyz来的。
那么axes参数值都有哪些呢？意思是什么，查了一下资料这里汇总一下：
根据三次基本转动选取的坐标轴的不同，欧拉角共有12种组合，再考虑到可选取原始坐标系的坐标轴，也可选取“新”坐标系的坐标轴，则共有24种欧拉角表示。一般规定原始坐标系为静坐标系(static)，每个基本转动后形成的新坐标系为动坐标系(rotating)。
24 种欧拉角表示列举如下：
- 静轴(即转轴选静坐标系的坐标轴):
sXYZ,sXZY,sXYX,sXYZ,sXZY,sXYX,sXYZ,sXZY,sXYX,
sXZX,sYXZ,sYZX,sXZX,sYXZ,sYZX,sXZX,sYXZ,sYZX,
sYXY,sYZY,sZXY,sYXY,sYZY,sZXY,sYXY,sYZY,sZXY,
sZYX,sZXZ,sZYZsZYX,sZXZ,sZYZsZYX,sZXZ,sZYZ
- 动轴(即转轴选动坐标系的坐标轴):
rZYX,rYZX,rXYX,rZYX,rYZX,rXYX,rZYX,rYZX,rXYX,
rXZX,rZXY,rXZY,rXZX,rZXY,rXZY,rXZX,rZXY,rXZY,
rYXY,rYZY,rYXZ,rYXY,rYZY,rYXZ,rYXY,rYZY,rYXZ,
rXYZ,rZXZ,rZYZrXYZ,rZXZ,rZYZrXYZ,rZXZ,rZYZ
静轴欧拉角和动轴欧拉角有如下规律:
绕静轴 XYZXYZXYZ 分别 转 α,β,γα,β,γα,β,γ 角度的转动与绕动轴 ZYXZYXZYX分别转 γ,β,αγ,β,αγ,β,α 角度的转动等价，其他形式的欧拉角亦有此类似规律。
axes的值和firstaxis, parity, repetition, frame的含义解释：
