%LOCALTOGLOBAL3D Transformation matrix from local to global coordinate system
%
%   TRANS = localToGlobal3d(CENTER, THETA, PHI, PSI)
%   Compute the transformation matrix from a local (or modelling)
%   coordinate system to the global (or world) coordinate system.
%   This is a low-level function, used by several drawing functions.
%
%   The transform is defined by:
%   - CENTER: the position of the local origin into the World coordinate
%       system
%   - THETA: colatitude, defined as the angle with the Oz axis (between 0
%       and 180 degrees), positive in the direction of the of Oy axis.
%   - PHI: azimut, defined as the angle of the normal with the Ox axis,
%       between 0 and 360 degrees
%   - PSI: intrinsic rotation, corresponding to the rotation of the object
%       around the direction vector, between 0 and 360 degrees
%
%   The resulting transform is obtained by applying (in that order):
%   - Rotation by PSI   around he Z-axis
%   - Rotation by THETA around the Y-axis
%   - Rotation by PHI   around the Z-axis
%   - Translation by vector CENTER
%   This corresponds to Euler ZYZ rotation, using angles PHI, THETA and
%   PSI.
%
%   The 'createEulerAnglesRotation' function may better suit your needs as
%   it is more 'natural'.
