TLcdXYZRotation

public interface ILcdXYZRotation
extends Serializable

An ILcdXYZRotation is a cartesian 3D rotation defined by three Eulerian angles (a, b, g). The angles are in decimal degrees and measured counterclockwise around the X, Y, and Z axes of a cartesian coordinate system.

• rotation a around the X-axis
• rotation b around the Y-axis
• rotation g around the Z-axis

The order of the rotations is important!

For geodetic projections with an origin of the projection (l₀,j₀) and with an oblique central meridianin an azimuthal direction Az the rotations are applied in following order:

1. l₀ around Z-axis
2. -j₀ around Y-axis
3. -Az around X-axis

Note that for the assigned cartesian coordinate axes to an ellipsoid angles are measured:

• l₀ is positive counterclockwise
• j₀ is positive clockwise
• Az is positive clockwise and measured from the north
