VITESS Tool Define Direction

1) Converts between direction definitions in VITESS:
 Cartesian: X = main propagation axis,
            Y = horizontal axis (left positive),
            Z = vertical axis (upward positive).
 Spherical: Theta = Angle with the +X axis,
            Phi   = Angle of the YZ projection with the +Y axis.
 Euler:     How to transform vector into (1 0 0 )?
            Rotates +X into chosen direction i.e. +X''= direction.
            Alpha =  First frame rotation angle around the Z axis,
            Beta  =  Second frame rotation angle around the new Y axis.

2) Performs Euler frame rotations as next option.

IMPORTANT: Positive rotation of frame means rotation of one positive
axis towards a higher index positive axis : +X->+Y, +Y->+Z, +X->+Z
