Rotation with a Euler angles: ZX'Z" convention
With Euler angles, the rotations are in the order z, x', z".
Note
Recommended use
For historical reasons, Euler angles in zx'z" convention can be used. However, it is strongly
recommended that only Euler angles in zy'x" convention (RPY angles) be used (see Section
Rotation with a Euler angles: ZY'X" convention (RPY angles) (Page 708)).
Assignment of rotary axis to geometry axis
Range of values
Data from Euler angles can only be unambiguously calculated back within the following value
ranges:
0
-180
-180
