Attached is an example for a rotation of a 3-dimensional vector around
the x-axis, which is straight from a geometrY book like this:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RotationMatrix.html

It's basically the same thing that you are doing, however it's
simplified for educational purposes. ;) (The expr can be optimized a
bit of course.)

Rotation simply is matrix multiplication using matrices which follow
certain rules. For many purposes the three Rx, Ry and Rz matrices from
the mathworld site are sufficient, which are easy to use in zexy-mtx
objects. But you can also create more complex rotation matrices. For
this some more math might be needed:

NB: I heard, that there is a nameclash somewhere with the
[matrix] object so I always use the objects using their [mtx]
abbreviation to be on the safe side.

Ciao
