+IMPLEMENT_READING(QRotationReading)

+/*!
+ \class QRotationReading
+ \ingroup sensors_reading
+ \inmodule QtSensors
+ \since 1.0
+
+ \brief The QRotationReading class represents one reading from the
+ rotation sensor.
+
+ \section2 QRotationReading Units
+
+ The rotation reading contains 3 angles, measured in degrees that define
+ the orientation of the device in three-dimensional space. These angles
+ are similar to yaw, pitch and roll but are defined using only right hand
+ rotation with axes as defined by the right hand cartesian coordinate system.
+
+ \image sensors-rotation.jpg
+
+ The three angles are applied to the device in the following order.
+
+ \list
+ \o Right-handed rotation z (-180, 180]. Starting from the y-axis and
+ incrementing in the counter-clockwise direction.
+ \o Right-handed rotation x [-90, 90]. Starting from the new
+ (once-rotated) y-axis and incrementing towards the z-axis.
+ \o Right-handed rotation y (-180, 180]. Starting from the new
+ (twice-rotated) z-axis and incrementing towards the x-axis.
+ \endlist
+
+ Here is a visualization showing the order in which angles are applied.
+
+ \image sensors-rotation-anim.gif
+
+ The 0 point for the z angle is defined as a fixed, external entity and
+ is device-specific. While magnetic North is typically used as this
+ reference point it may not be. Do not attempt to compare values
+ for the z angle between devices or even on the same device if it has
+ moved a significant distance.
+
+ If the device cannot detect a fixed, external entity the z angle will
+ always be 0 and the QRotationSensor::hasZ property will be set to false.
+
+ The 0 point for the x and y angles are defined as when the x and y axes
+ of the device are oriented towards the horizon. Here is an example of
+ how the x value will change with device movement.
+
+ \image sensors-rotation2.jpg
+
+ Here is an example of how the y value will change with device movement.
+
+ \image sensors-rotation3.jpg
+
+ Note that when x is 90 or -90, values for z and y achieve rotation around
+ the same axis (due to the order of operations). In this case the y
+ rotation will be 0.
