+"""Homogeneous Transformation Matrices and Quaternions.
+
+A library for calculating 4x4 matrices for translating, rotating, reflecting,
+scaling, shearing, projecting, orthogonalizing, and superimposing arrays of
+3D homogeneous coordinates as well as for converting between rotation matrices,
+Euler angles, and quaternions. Also includes an Arcball control object and
+functions to decompose transformation matrices.

+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+* `Python 2.6 or 3.1 <http://www.python.org>`__
+* `Numpy 1.4 <http://numpy.scipy.org>`__
+* `transformations.c 2010.04.10 <http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/>`__
+  (optional implementation of some functions in C)
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+The API is not stable yet and is expected to change between revisions.
+
+This Python code is not optimized for speed. Refer to the transformations.c
+module for a faster implementation of some functions.
+
+Documentation in HTML format can be generated with epydoc.
+
+Matrices (M) can be inverted using numpy.linalg.inv(M), concatenated using
+numpy.dot(M0, M1), or used to transform homogeneous coordinates (v) using
+numpy.dot(M, v) for shape (4, *) "point of arrays", respectively
+numpy.dot(v, M.T) for shape (*, 4) "array of points".
+
+Use the transpose of transformation matrices for OpenGL glMultMatrixd().
+
+Calculations are carried out with numpy.float64 precision.
+
+Vector, point, quaternion, and matrix function arguments are expected to be
+"array like", i.e. tuple, list, or numpy arrays.
+
+Return types are numpy arrays unless specified otherwise.
+
+Angles are in radians unless specified otherwise.
+
+Quaternions w+ix+jy+kz are represented as [w, x, y, z].
+
+A triple of Euler angles can be applied/interpreted in 24 ways, which can
+be specified using a 4 character string or encoded 4-tuple:
+
+  *Axes 4-string*: e.g. 'sxyz' or 'ryxy'
+
+  - first character : rotations are applied to 's'tatic or 'r'otating frame
+  - remaining characters : successive rotation axis 'x', 'y', or 'z'
+
+  *Axes 4-tuple*: e.g. (0, 0, 0, 0) or (1, 1, 1, 1)
+
+  - inner axis: code of axis ('x':0, 'y':1, 'z':2) of rightmost matrix.
+  - parity : even (0) if inner axis 'x' is followed by 'y', 'y' is followed
+    by 'z', or 'z' is followed by 'x'. Otherwise odd (1).
+  - repetition : first and last axis are same (1) or different (0).
+  - frame : rotations are applied to static (0) or rotating (1) frame.
