     * An important thing to note is that the rotation order and angles signs used here
     * are compliant with an <em>attitude</em> definition, i.e. they correspond to
     * a frame that rotate in a field of fixed vectors. The underlying definitions used
     * in commons-math {@link org.apache.commons.math3.geometry.euclidean.threed.Rotation#Rotation(RotationOrder,
     * double, double, double) Rotation(RotationOrder, double, double, double)} use
     * <em>reversed</em> definition, i.e. they correspond to a vectors field rotating
     * with respect to a fixed frame. So to retrieve the angles provided here from the
     * commons-math underlying rotation, one has to <em>revert</em> the rotation, as in
     * the following code snippet:
     * </p>
     * <pre>
     *   LofOffset law          = new LofOffset(inertial, lofType, order, alpha1, alpha2, alpha3);

     *   Rotation  alignedAtt   = new LofOffset(inertial, lofType).getAttitude(orbit).getRotation();
     *   Rotation  offsetProper = offsetAtt.applyTo(alignedAtt.revert());
     *
     *   // note the call to revert in the following statement
     *   double[] angles = offsetProper.revert().getAngles(order);
     *
     *   System.out.println(alpha1 + " == " + angles[0]);
