Parameters
==========
parent : ReferenceFrame
The frame that this ReferenceFrame will have its orientation matrix
defined in relation to.
rot_type : str
The type of orientation matrix that is being created. Supported
types are 'Body', 'Space', 'Quaternion', and 'Axis'. See examples
for correct usage.
amounts : list OR value
The quantities that the orientation matrix will be defined by.
rot_order : str

>>> B = ReferenceFrame('B')
Now we have a choice of how to implement the orientation. First is
Body. Body orientation takes this reference frame through three
successive simple rotations. Acceptable rotation orders are of length
3, expressed in XYZ or 123, and cannot have a rotation about about an
axis twice in a row.
>>> B.orient(N, 'Body', [q1, q2, q3], '123')
>>> B.orient(N, 'Body', [q1, q2, 0], 'ZXZ')
>>> B.orient(N, 'Body', [0, 0, 0], 'XYX')
Next is Space. Space is like Body, but the rotations are applied in the
opposite order.
>>> B.orient(N, 'Space', [q1, q2, q3], '312')
Next is Quaternion. This orients the new ReferenceFrame with
Quaternions, defined as a finite rotation about lambda, a unit vector,
by some amount theta.
This orientation is described by four parameters:
q0 = cos(theta/2)
q1 = lambda_x sin(theta/2)
q2 = lambda_y sin(theta/2)
q3 = lambda_z sin(theta/2)
Quaternion does not take in a rotation order.
>>> B.orient(N, 'Quaternion', [q0, q1, q2, q3])
Last is Axis. This is a rotation about an arbitrary, non-time-varying
axis by some angle. The axis is supplied as a Vector. This is how
simple rotations are defined.
