What is more, each cell of orientation matrix is a multiple of
cosinus/sinus functions of rotation angles around each axis. Right now
i can't recall how this matrix looks exactly, but i do remember that
if rotation is made around one axis only (like rotX function does, for
instance), then the cell on the crossing of appropriate row and column
equals 1. For example, for rotY function, the oriention matrix would
look like
? 0 ?
0 1 0
? 0 ?
where question mark is either cosinus or sinus of rotation angle.
But i fully agree that this information has no practical use unless
rotation is made around one axis only.
