Etymology

Euler angles describe the rotation of a coordinate system

Synopsis

The Euler class is a vector of three angles, together with a vector of three signed integers. The angles describe the rotation around an axis of a coordinate system, the integers the actual axis around which to rotate. The integer can be 0 (do not use this angle) or 1,2,3 to indicate the axis. Given angles (a1,a2,a3) and axes (i1,i2,i3), the actual rotation matrix constructed will be:
R = R_i3(a3).R_i2(a2).R_i1(a1)
It has the following constructors:

Euler() creates a zero filled vector of length 3. Axes: (1,2,3)
Euler(Euler) creates a copy
Euler(Double, uInt, Double=0, uInt=0, Double=0, uInt=0) creates an Euler with specified values
Euler(Double, Double=0, Double=0) creates an Euler with (1,2,3)
Euler(Quantity, uInt, Quantity=0, uInt=0, Quantity=0, uInt=0) creates an Euler with specified values
Euler(Quantity, Quantity=0, Quantity=0) creates an Euler with interpretation of angle units in the Quantities
Euler(Quantum<Vector<Double> >) creates a zero expanded Euler from at most the first three elements of Quantity vector; with (1,2,3)
Euler(Quantum<Vector<Double> >, Vector<uInt>) creates a zero expanded Euler with given values

It has a unary minus operator, which reverses the sign and order of the three angles, and the order of the axes, to produce the Euler angles for a rotation with opposite signs, so that RotMatrix(-Euler) will generate the inverse rotation matrix as compared with RotMatrix(Euler).
getAngle() functions return the Euler angles as a Quantum vector.
Eulers have addition and subtraction (on the angles). Note that this produces the correct angles for a combined rotation only if the axes are identical.
A (which) operator returns the indicated angle. Set/get functions manipulate the axes.

Example

Quantity angle(25,"deg");  // 25 degrees
Euler eul(angle.get().getValue(),2); // rotate over axis 2 (radians)
RotMatrix rot(eul);        // generates rotation matrix

Motivation

To use generated precession and nutation results
