Detailed Description

DtDcms are used to represent orientation for an object.

DCMs are Directed Cosine Matrices.

Represents a Directed Cosine Matrix(DCM). This class is often used to represent orientation. Alternatively, orientation can be represented as a set of three Euler angles in the TaitBryan sequence using the DtTaitBryan class. More documentation on the DCM class is available in section 12.1.2 in the VR-Link users guide.
