Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to transform counter clockwise euler angles to
clockwise euler angles?

regards,
Rune Laursen

isn't it 360deg-(your angle) ?

Ok, I didn't explain the problem well enough. I am using a headtracker which
returns it's viewing direction in 3 euler angles. One of the angles is in
the range -90 to 90 and the other two is in the range -180 to 180. The
angles are measured counter clockwise. I have a function that converts these
angles to a counter clockwise rotation matrix. I need a clockwise rotation
matrix, so I figured that the euler angles would have to be converted to
clockwise before converting them to a rotation matrix. Is that the wrong
approach?

That doesn't make sense without a definition what side these 3 clocks
are supposed to be facing.  Remember that a clock's hand will appear
to rotate CCW if you're looking at the back of the clock.

This description still doesn't make much sense, I think.  There is no
such thing as a clockwise rotation matrix.  

To convert any triplet of Euler angles into a rotation matrix, you
have to know *exactly* how these Euler angles are defined, so you can
reflect that knowledge by chosing the right axis direction vectors in
the formula:

        M := R(axis1,angle1)*R(axis2,angle2)*R(axis3,angle3)

CCW vs. CW rotation can be implemented in this setup by flipping
either the sign of the angle, or the direction of the axis direction
vector.
