Graduate Coordinate transformations question
Hey SonyAD, Thanks for updating your post. What you have given me now allows me to convert δ, ε and ζ (which I know) to Euler angles α, β and γ (which I don't know). Once I know the Euler angles, I can then apply an Euler rotation matrix to the angles to determine my new coordinates...- danhumphreys

Graduate Coordinate transformations question
Hi SonyAD, Thanks for the reply. I should have made it clearer in my post that I am only considering rotation about the centre of the cube (to begin with). The Euler angles are defined in this picture here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Eulerangles.svg But in my example I've...- danhumphreys

Graduate Coordinate transformations question
Hi all, I've been struggling with this for a couple of days now and am positing a question in the hope that someone can help me out. I have a global cartesian coordinate system X, Y, Z and a cube with it's centre at (0,0,0) and dimension 1. Hence it's corners are: (0.5, -0.5, 0.5), (-0.5...- danhumphreys
