AxisOrder Enumeration

Enumeration of the 6 possible orderings of XYZ axis order

  • Note: There are 3 axis order with right hand system (XYZ = 0, YZX = 1, ZXY = 2) and 3 axis order with left hand system (XZY = 4, YXZ = 5, ZYX = 6). Note that AxisOrder is encoding the handedness as well. Cross product of the i_th axis in an ordering (i=0,1,2), with the i+1_th in that ordering, will produce the i+2_th axis in that ordering.
