solved order arg for toEulerAnglesToRef ignored

[JCPalmer]

Like the title says, there is a function in Quaternion which ignores one of its arguments.  I guess my question is, if the default is "YZX", this is the vector3 equivalent of rotating in Y axis, then Z, then X?  Also, If yes I am assuming that this is how rotation is applied in frame, right?

Right, The parameter was added for future usage but I did not find time to code it yet

The default order is YXZ locally.

I do remember at some point quite a time ago a comment in the code somewhere that order was a a 'to do'.

The function does work correctly so it might be a good job that the order YZX is ignored.

If you really want another rotation order than the default one (YXZ), you could use addRotation() to accumulate rotation steps in the desired order :

Actually, I wanted to re-code it in C## to change the Kinect joint orientations the format reported, for sanities sake.  I saw the used used arg & wanted to double check.
