The rot2q.m function found in the Quaternion package seems not intended to handle multiple inputs.  On the other hand the quaternion constructor can handle multiple inputs. 

Test code that errors with:
 
"error: rot2q: first argument 'axis' must be a length three vector
error: called from
    rot2q at line 74 column 5
    test_quaternion_array_coversion at line 10 column 21"


clear all
pkg load quaternion
xyz_angle=[0  1  0  1.570796326794897;0.5  1  0  1.570796326794897]
pt_xyz_angle_to_quat=rot2q ([xyz_angle(:,1),xyz_angle(:,2),xyz_angle(:,3)], xyz_angle(:,4))


This is my logic:
1) Convert multiple xyz points in array to quaternions using the function rot2q
2) Do calculations on multiple points from array in quaternions using the function quaternion
3) Convert quaternion array data back to xyz points using the function q2rot
4) Plot new xyz points using the function scatter3
