Abstract
The Piogram is a symbolic representation of Euler angle rotations. Thi s paper demonstrates the use of the Piogram for computing coordinate t ransformations, directions, and angular rates in three-dimensional Euc lidean space. It is shown that the Piogram is an easy and an effective tool which saves time and computation. The use of the Piogram is expl ained, and its efficiency is demonstrated through several examples.
