XYZ

1

The convention for the rotation angles is X - Y` - Z``.

ZYX

2

The convention for the rotation angles is Z - Y` - X``.

ZXY

3

The convention for the rotation angles is Z - X` - Y``.

Execution sequence of the rotation angles of an orientation of a coordinate system:

In this example, the orientation convention is ET_OrientationConvention.XYZ.

1

Rotation of the coordinate system CS1 around its X axis. This creates the coordinate system CS2.

2

Rotation of the coordinate system CS2 around its Y axis. This creates the coordinate system CS3.

3

Rotation of the coordinate system CS3 around its Z axis. This creates the coordinate system CS4.
