AxisOrder Enumeration

Enumeration of the 6 possible orderings of XYZ axis order

  • AxisOrder encodes handedness as well. There are 3 right-handed axis orderings (XYZ, YZX, ZXY) and 3 left-handed orderings (XZY, YXZ, ZYX).
  • Given an axis ordering, the cross product of axis i with axis i+1 yields axis i+2.
