Detailed Description

This is a RealTensor version of a rotation matrix It is instantiated with the Euler angles, which are measured in degrees.

R = Z0 *X1 * Z2 where Z0 = anticlockwise rotation about Z axis through euler_angles(0) degrees where X1 = anticlockwise rotation about X axis through euler_angles(1) degress where Z2 = anticlockwise rotation about Z axis through euler_angles(2) degrees or an axis, angle pair where the angle is taken anticlockwise in degrees
