At the moment, Rotation only has a way to get Euler angles in the order roll, pitch, yaw. This PR adds a euler_angles_ordered function to Rotation which allows the user to specify any order of Euler axes. It also allows the user to specify if the returned angles should be for an intrinsic or extrinsic rotation.
The implementation is based upon this paper:
Malcolm D. Shuster, F. Landis Markley, “General formula for extraction the Euler angles”, Journal of guidance, control, and dynamics, vol. 29.1, pp. 215-221. 2006
This is a function I wrote in one of my own projects, and thought it would be a good addition to the library.
