Coordinate systems figure is wrong #26

Open gavinmacaulay opened 6 days ago

gavinmacaulay commented 6 days ago

The depiction of the angles in the coordinate system figure is incorrect (they illustrate a pitch/roll coordinate system rather than the intended spherical coordinate system)

Need a rethink on the angle stuff: could instead use Euler angles (e.g., pitch, roll, yaw) to represent the orientation of a fixed body relative to a fixed coordinate system. Might fit better with existing scattering models.

Might be handy to provide in the Utils class functions to convert between Euler angles and cartesian and spherical coordinate systems.
