Converts directional cosine matrix into Euler angles, ZYZ active convention (rotating the object rather than the axes).
Syntax
[arg1,arg2,arg3]=dcm2euler(dcm)
Arguments
dcm - directional cosine matrix
Outputs
alpha, beta, gamma - Euler angles in ZYZ active con-
vention, radians
angles - a row vector of Euler angles in
ZYZ active convention, ordered
as alpha, beta, gamma, in radians
Note: the problem of recovering Euler angles from a DCM is, in
general, ill-posed. This function is a product of consi-
derable work, it has passed rigorous testing: it either
returns a correct answer or gives an informative error.

Notes
The problem of recovering Euler angles from a DCM is, in general, ill-posed. This function is a product of considerable work, it has passed rigorous testing: it either returns a correct answer or gives an informative error. See the notes on rotation conventions for the basic definitions of rotations in Spinach.
