Euler Angles
There are many conventions for how to define Euler angles, based on choices of which of the x,y,z axis to use in what order and whether the rotation axis is in the body frame (and hence affected by previous rotations) or in in a fixed frame. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_between_quaternions_and_Euler_angles for a general description. All Euler angles are specified in radians. The names are all `rotation_from_{fixed/body}_abc()` where abc is the ordering of x,y,z.
Rotation3D	get_rotation_from_fixed_zyz (double Rot, double Tilt, double Psi)
	Generate a rotation object from Euler Angles.
FixedZYZ	get_fixed_zyz_from_rotation (const Rotation3D &r)
	The inverse of rotation_from_fixed_zyz()

Rotation3D get_rotation_from_fixed_zyz	(	double	Rot,
		double	Tilt,
		double	Psi
	)

Note:: The first rotation is by an angle about the z-axis. The second rotation is by an angle about the new y-axis. The third rotation is by an angle about the new z-axis.

Parameters:

[in]	Rot	First Euler angle (radians) defining the rotation (Z axis)
[in]	Tilt	Second Euler angle (radians) defining the rotation (Y axis)
[in]	Psi	Third Euler angle (radians) defining the rotation (Z axis)
