Detailed Description

A class template to execute rotate actions on an object.

The vertex array of the object is rotated into a set of consecutive dimensions.

As I find the concept hard to explain in words, let me give a few examples to illustrate the idea:

 Extrude<4, 0, 0> line;

A line in four-space. A point is extruded along dimension 0 ( x ).

 Rotate<4, 1, 1> circle(line);

The line along x is rotated into the y - dimension resulting in a circle in the xy -plane.

 Rotate<4, 2, 2> sphere(circle);

Create a sphere from a circle by rotating along the z axis.

 Rotate<4, 1, 2> also_a_sphere(line);

Create another sphere from a line by rotating it into the dimensions 1 to 2, ie. along y and z, in one operation.

 Extrude<4, 0, 1> square;
 Rotate<4, 2, 2> cylinder(square);

A cylinder is created by rotating a square along the z axis. Alternately you could have extruded a circle.

 Rotate<4, 1, 3> glome(line);

A four-dimensional sphere, also known as glome, is created by rotating a line three times.

Template Parameters:

D	Dimension of the vector space we're working in
Dmin	First of the set of dimensions being rotated into
Dmax	Last of the set of dimensions being rotated into
