   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   eulang     I   An array of Euler angles and their derivatives.
   axisa      I   Axis A of the Euler angle factorization.
   axisb      I   Axis B of the Euler angle factorization.
   axisc      I   Axis C of the Euler angle factorization.
   xform      O   A state transformation matrix.

Detailed_Input

   eulang      is the set of Euler angles corresponding to the
               specified factorization.

               If we represent `r' as shown here:

                  r =  [ alpha ]      [ beta ]      [ gamma ]
                                axisa         axisb          axisc

               then

                  eulang[0] = alpha
                  eulang[1] = beta
                  eulang[2] = gamma
                  eulang[3] = dalpha/dt
                  eulang[4] = dbeta/dt
                  eulang[5] = dgamma/dt


   axisa,
   axisb,
   axisc       are the axes desired for the factorization of `r'.

               All must be in the range from 1 to 3. Moreover
               it must be the case that `axisa' and `axisb' are distinct
               and that `axisb' and `axisc' are distinct.

               Every rotation matrix can be represented as a product
               of three rotation matrices about the principal axes
               of a reference frame.

                  r =  [ alpha ]      [ beta ]      [ gamma ]
                                axisa         axisb          axisc

               The value 1 corresponds to the X axis.
               The value 2 corresponds to the Y axis.
               The value 3 corresponds to the Z axis.

Detailed_Output

   xform       is the state transformation matrix corresponding to `r'
               and dr/dt as described above. Pictorially,

                  .-             -.
                  |       |       |
                  |   r   |   0   |
                  |       |       |
                  |-------+-------|
                  |       |       |
                  | dr/dt |   r   |
                  |       |       |
                  `-             -'

               where `r' is a rotation matrix that varies with respect to
               time and dr/dt is its time derivative.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   1)  If any of `axisa', `axisb', or `axisc' do not have values in

          { 1, 2, 3 }

       an error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this
       routine.

Files

   None.

Particulars

   A word about notation: the symbol

      [ x ]
           i

   indicates a coordinate system rotation of x radians about the
   ith coordinate axis. To be specific, the symbol

      [ x ]
           1

   indicates a coordinate system rotation of x radians about the
   first, or x-, axis; the corresponding matrix is

      .-                    -.
      |  1    0        0     |
      |                      |
      |  0    cos(x)  sin(x) |
      |                      |
      |  0   -sin(x)  cos(x) |
      `-                    -'

   Remember, this is a COORDINATE SYSTEM rotation by x radians; this
   matrix, when applied to a vector, rotates the vector by -x
   radians, not x radians. Applying the matrix to a vector yields
   the vector's representation relative to the rotated coordinate
   system.

   The analogous rotation about the second, or y-, axis is
   represented by

      [ x ]
           2

   which symbolizes the matrix

      .-                    -.
      | cos(x)   0   -sin(x) |
      |                      |
      |  0       1    0      |
      |                      |
      | sin(x)   0    cos(x) |
      `-                    -'

   and the analogous rotation about the third, or z-, axis is
   represented by

      [ x ]
           3

   which symbolizes the matrix

      .-                    -.
      |  cos(x)  sin(x)   0  |
      |                      |
      | -sin(x)  cos(x)   0  |
      |                      |
      |  0        0       1  |
      `-                    -'

   The input matrix is assumed to be the product of three
   rotation matrices, each one of the form

      .-                    -.
      |  1      0       0    |
      |                      |
      |  0    cos(r)  sin(r) |     (rotation of r radians about the
      |                      |      x-axis),
      |  0   -sin(r)  cos(r) |
      `-                    -'


      .-                    -.
      | cos(s)   0   -sin(s) |
      |                      |
      |  0       1      0    |     (rotation of s radians about the
      |                      |      y-axis),
      | sin(s)   0    cos(s) |
      `-                    -'

   or

      .-                    -.
      |  cos(t)  sin(t)   0  |
      |                      |
      | -sin(t)  cos(t)   0  |     (rotation of t radians about the
      |                      |      z-axis),
      |  0        0       1  |
      `-                    -'

   where the second rotation axis is not equal to the first or
   third. Any rotation matrix can be factored as a sequence of
   three such rotations, provided that this last criterion is met.

   This routine is intended to provide an inverse for xf2eul_c.

   The two function calls shown here will not change
   `xform' except for round off errors.

      xf2eul_c ( xform,  axisa, axisb, axisc, eulang, &unique );
      eul2xf_c ( eulang, axisa, axisb, axisc, xform           );

   On the other hand the two calls

      eul2xf_c ( eulang, axisa, axisb, axisc, xform           );
      xf2eul_c ( xform,  axisa, axisb, axisc, eulang, &unique );

   will leave `eulang' unchanged only if the components of `eulang'
   are in the range produced by xf2eul_c and the Euler representation
   of the rotation component of `xform' is unique within that range.

Examples

   The numerical results shown for this example may differ across
   platforms. The results depend on the SPICE kernels used as
   input, the compiler and supporting libraries, and the machine
   specific arithmetic implementation.

   1) Suppose you have a set of Euler angles and their derivatives
      for a 3 1 3 rotation, and that you would like to determine
      the equivalent angles and derivatives for a 1 2 3 rotation.

         r = [alpha]  [beta]  [gamma]
                    3       1        3

         r = [roll]  [pitch]  [yaw]
                   1        2      3

      The following code example will perform the desired
      computation.


      Example code begins here.

         abgang[2] =  0.09;
         abgang[3] = -0.001;

         /.
         Compute the equivalent angles and derivatives for a
         1-2-3 rotation.
         ./
         eul2xf_c ( abgang, 3, 1, 3, xform );
         xf2eul_c ( xform, 1, 2, 3, rpyang, &unique );

         if ( unique )
         {
            printf( "1-2-3 equivalent rotation to input (radians):\n" );
            printf( "Roll   %12.9f, droll/dt   %12.9f\n",
                                     rpyang[0], rpyang[3] );
            printf( "Pitch  %12.9f, dpitch/dt  %12.9f\n",
                                     rpyang[1], rpyang[4] );
            printf( "Yaw    %12.9f, dyaw/dt    %12.9f\n",
                                     rpyang[2], rpyang[5] );
         }
         else
         {
            printf( "The values in `rpyang' are not uniquely determined.\n" );
         }

         return ( 0 );
      }


      When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/cc/64-bit
      platform, the output was:


      1-2-3 equivalent rotation to input (radians):
      Roll    0.029998501, droll/dt   -0.002999550
      Pitch  -0.000299950, dpitch/dt   0.000059980
