<DD><DL COMPACT>
<DT>1.
<DD>A rotation is positive when the reference frame rotates
anticlockwise as seen looking towards the origin from the
positive region of the specified axis.
<DT>2.
<DD>The characters of ORDER define which axes the three successive
rotations are about. A typical value is `ZXZ', indicating that
RMAT is to become the direction cosine matrix corresponding to
rotations of the reference frame through PHI radians about the
old <I>z</I>-axis, followed by THETA radians about the resulting
<I>x</I>-axis,
then PSI radians about the resulting <I>z</I>-axis.
<DT>3.
<DD>The axis names can be any of the following, in any order or
combination: X, Y, Z, uppercase or lowercase, 1, 2, 3. Normal
axis labelling/numbering conventions apply; the <I>xyz</I> (<IMG WIDTH="44" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
SRC="img67.gif"
ALT="$\equiv123$">) triad is right-handed. Thus, the `ZXZ' example given above
could be written `zxz' or `313' (or even `ZxZ' or `3xZ'). ORDER
is terminated by length or by the first unrecognized character.
Fewer than three rotations are acceptable, in which case the later
angle arguments are ignored. Zero rotations produces a unit RMAT.
