Vector Rotations in 3D


	This Demonstration lets you locate two points on a sphere. The points form a vector that can be rotated about the , , or axes. The trace of the rotation is made using multiple vectors at 5° increments. Each of these vectors is the product of a rotation matrix (see Details) and the original vector.
