;Procedure: tvector_rotate
;
;Purpose:  rotates array data by a set of coordinate
;          transformation matrices inputs and outputs are tplot
;          variables.  This is designed mainly for use with
;          fac_matrix_make.pro and minvar_matrix_make, but can be used
;          for more general purposes
;;          
;          Assuming that the data array and matrix time-grids match,
;          this code is the vectorized equivalent to:
;          for i=0,n_ele-1 do out[i,*]=reform(reform(m[i,*,*])#reform(v[i,*]))
;        
;          Setting the "invert" keyword will produce results that are equivalent to using the '##' 
;          operation in the loop above.
;          
;Warning:
; The transformation matrices generated by
;fac_matrix_make,thm_fac_matrix_make, and minvar_matrix_make are
;defined relative to a specific coordinate system.  This means that if
;you use vectors in one coordinate system to generate the rotation
;matrices they will only correctly transform data from that coordinate
;system into the functional coordinate system.
;
;  For example if you use
;magnetic field data in gsm to generate Rgeo transformation matrices
;using fac_matrix_make then the array being provided to tvector
;rotate to be transformed by those matrices should only be in gsm coordinates.

;
;Arguments:
;
; mat_var_in: the name of the tplot variable storing input matrices
; The y component of the tplot variable's data struct should be
; an Mx3x3 array, storing a list of transformation matrices. 
; Array data can be input as well and should be an Mx3x3 array
; 
;
; vec_var_in: The name of a tplot variable storing an array of input vectors.
; You can use globbing to rotate several tplot variables
; storing vectors with a single matrix. The y component of the tplot variable's
; data struct should be an Nx3 array. Array data can also be input and should be
; an Nx3 array. 
;
;
; newname(optional): the name of the output variable, defaults to 
;                    vec_var_in + '_rot'
;                    If you use type globbing in the vector variable
;                    If array data is used this variable should be 
;                    declared.
;
; suffix: The suffix to be appended to the tplot variables that the output matrices will be stored in.
;         (Default: '_rot')
;
; error(optional): named variable in which to return the error state
; of the computation.  1 = success 0 = failure
; 
; 
; invert(optional):  If matrix_var naturally transforms vector_var from Coord A to B,
;                    (ie Vb = M#Va where # denotes matrix multiplication) then setting
;                    this keyword will transform vector_var from Coord B to A( ie Va = M^T#Vb 
;                    This is done by transposing the input matrices, as it is a property of 
;                    rotation matrices that M#M^T = I and M^T#M = I(ie M^T = M^-1) 
;                    
; vector_skip_nonmonotonic(optional): Removes any vector data with non-ascending or repeated
;                            timestamps before SLERPing matrices rather than throwing an error.
;                            
; matrix_skip_nonmonotonic(optional): Removes any vector data with non-ascending 
;                            timestamps before SLERPing matrices rather than throwing an error.
;
;CALLING SEQUENCE:
;
; tvector_rotate,'matrix_var','vector_var',newname = 'out_var',error=error
;
; tvector_rotate,'matrix_var','vector_var'
;
;Notes: 
; 1.  mat_var_in should store rotation or permutation matrices. 
;     (ie the columns of any matrix in mat_var_in should form an orthonormal basis) 
;     tvector_rotate will test and warn if input matrices are inalid.
;     Permutation matrices are allowed so that coordinates can be transformed
;     from right to left handed systems and vice-versa.  This is verified via the following 
;     contraints.  
;     M#M^-1 = I and abs(determ(m)) = 1
;   
; 2.  transformation matrices generally only transform from one particular basis
;     to another particular basis.  Since tvector_rotate as no way to test that
;     vector_var is in the correct basis, you need to be very careful that
;     vector_var has the correct coordinate system and representation
;     so that it can correctly transform the data.
;     
;
;3.   If M!=N, then M must be >= 2 (where M,N refer to the dimensions of the
;     input variables.)
;
;4.  Also If the x components of mat_var_in and vec_var_in data structs
;    do not match then, the matrices will be interpolated to match the
;    cadence of the data.  Interpolation is done by turning the
;    matrices into quaternions and performing spherical linear
;    interpolation.  As noted above this interpolation behavior will
;    not be predictable if the matrices do anything other than rotate.
;
;5.  If the timestamps of mat_var_in are not monotonic(ascending or identical) or 
;    if the timestamps vec_var_in are not strictly monotonic(always ascending) the
;    program will not work correctly in the event that matrix SLERPing is required. 
;    Set the keywords vector_skip_nonmonotonic or matrix_skip_nonmonotonic to have
;    the routine remove the non-monotonic data when generating the output. Alternatively,
;    if matrix and vector timestamps match no SLERPing will be required, also fixing
;    nonmonotonicities manually will fix the problem.
