/** \class TRotation
    \ingroup Physics
 
The TRotation class describes a rotation of objects of the TVector3 class.
It is a 3*3 matrix of Double_t:
 
~~~
| xx  xy  xz |
| yx  yy  yz |
| zx  zy  zz |
~~~
 
It describes a so called active rotation, i.e. rotation of objects inside
a static system of coordinates. In case you want to rotate the frame and
want to know the coordinates of objects in the rotated system, you should
apply the inverse rotation to the objects. If you want to transform coordinates
from the rotated frame to the original frame you have to apply the direct
transformation.
 
A rotation around a specified axis means counterclockwise rotation around
the positive direction of the axis.
 
 
### Declaration, Access, Comparisons
 
~~~
  TRotation r;    // r initialized as identity
  TRotation m(r); // m = r
~~~
 
There is no direct way to set the matrix elements - to ensure that
a TRotation object always describes a real rotation. But you can get the
values by the member functions XX()..ZZ() or the (,)
operator:
 
~~~
  Double_t xx = r.XX();     //  the same as xx=r(0,0)
           xx = r(0,0);
 
  if (r==m) {...}          // test for equality
  if (r!=m) {..}           // test for inequality
  if (r.IsIdentity()) {...} // test for identity
~~~
 
### Rotation around axes
The following matrices describe counterclockwise rotations around coordinate
axes
 
~~~
        | 1   0      0     |
Rx(a) = | 0 cos(a) -sin(a) |
        | 0 sin(a) cos(a)  |
 
        | cos(a)  0 sin(a) |
Ry(a) = |   0     1   0    |
        | -sin(a) 0 cos(a) |
 
        | cos(a) -sin(a) 0 |
Rz(a) = | sin(a) cos(a) 0  |
        |   0     0     1  |
~~~
 
and are implemented as member functions RotateX(), RotateY() and RotateZ():
 
~~~
  r.RotateX(TMath::Pi()); // rotation around the x-axis
~~~
 
### Rotation around arbitrary axis
The member function Rotate() allows to rotate around an arbitrary vector
(not necessary a unit one) and returns the result.
 
~~~
  r.Rotate(TMath::Pi()/3,TVector3(3,4,5));
~~~
 
It is possible to find a unit vector and an angle, which describe the
same rotation as the current one:
 
~~~
  Double_t angle;
  TVector3 axis;
  r.GetAngleAxis(angle,axis);
~~~
 
### Rotation of local axes
Member function RotateAxes() adds a rotation of local axes to
the current rotation and returns the result:
 
~~~
  TVector3 newX(0,1,0);
  TVector3 newY(0,0,1);
  TVector3 newZ(1,0,0);
  a.RotateAxes(newX,newY,newZ);
~~~
 
Member functions ThetaX(), ThetaY(), ThetaZ(),
PhiX(), PhiY(),PhiZ() return azimuth and polar
angles of the rotated axes:
 
~~~
  Double_t tx,ty,tz,px,py,pz;
  tx= a.ThetaX();
  ...
  pz= a.PhiZ();
~~~
 
### Setting The Rotations
The member function SetToIdentity() will set the rotation object
to the identity (no rotation).
 
With a minor caveat, the Euler angles of the rotation may be set using
SetXEulerAngles() or individually set with SetXPhi(),
SetXTheta(), and SetXPsi().  These routines set the Euler
angles using the X-convention which is defined by a rotation about the Z-axis,
about the new X-axis, and about the new Z-axis.  This is the convention used
in Landau and Lifshitz, Goldstein and other common physics texts.  The
Y-convention Euler angles can be set with SetYEulerAngles(),
SetYPhi(), SetYTheta(), and SetYPsi().  The caveat
is that Euler angles usually define the rotation of the new coordinate system
with respect to the original system, however, the TRotation class specifies
the rotation of the object in the original system (an active rotation).  To
recover the usual Euler rotations (ie. rotate the system not the object), you
must take the inverse of the rotation.
 
The member functions SetXAxis(), SetYAxis(), and
SetZAxis() will create a rotation which rotates the requested axis
of the object to be parallel to a vector.  If used with one argument, the
rotation about that axis is arbitrary.  If used with two arguments, the
second variable defines the XY, YZ, or ZX
respectively.
 
 
### Inverse rotation
 
~~~
  TRotation a,b;
  ...
  b = a.Inverse();  // b is inverse of a, a is unchanged
  b = a.Invert();   // invert a and set b = a
~~~
 
### Compound Rotations
The operator * has been implemented in a way that follows the
mathematical notation of a product of the two matrices which describe the
two consecutive rotations. Therefore the second rotation should be placed
first:
 
~~~
  r = r2 * r1;
~~~
 
### Rotation of TVector3
The TRotation class provides an operator * which allows to express
a rotation of a TVector3 analog to the mathematical notation
 
~~~
  | x' |   | xx xy xz | | x |
  | y' | = | yx yy yz | | y |
  | z' |   | zx zy zz | | z |
~~~
 
e.g.:
 
~~~
  TVector3 v(1,1,1);
  v = r * v;
~~~
 
You can also use the Transform() member function or the operator *= of the
TVector3 class:
 
~~~
  TVector3 v;
  TRotation r;
  v.Transform(r);
  v *= r;  //Attention v = r * v
~~~
