Release Notes
What does this PR do? Please describe and/or link to an open issue.
As detailed in the associated issue, diffpy provides a rotation of the form:
Ans = std @ BR (1)
where std is a known 3x3 matrix and BR is a user defined 3 by 3 matrix. Our code works on the assumption that a solution of the form
Ans = Rotation @ Basis (2)
To tie these two ends together we set
BR = std^{-1} @ Rotation @ std
which when subbed into equation (1) produces
Ans = (std @ std^{-1}) @ Rotation @ std
which corresponds with (2)
