/** EulerAngle: Represents a group of euler angles.
 *  Euler angle can be used to represent rotations in 3-space.
 *
 *  To some people this rotation format can be more intuitive to specify than
 *  Matrix, Quat, or AxisAngle formatted rotation.
 *
 *  For efficiency and to minimize problems from gimbal-lock, you should use
 *  one of the other rotation formats instead (Quat or Matrix are preferred).
 *
 *  The internal data format is an array of 3 DATA_TYPE angle values, 
 *  plus a RotationOrder that specifies how to build a rotation transform
 *  from the 3 angle value.
 *
 *  IMPORTANT:
 *  The 3 angles are in the order set ::getOrder(), not XYZ.
 *  The values do not swap when order is changed after setting the angles.
 *
 * @pre all angles are in radians.
 *
 * @see EulerAnglef, EulerAngled
