+## The function w = rotparams (r) - Inverse to rotv().
+## Using, @var{w} = rotparams(@var{r}) is such that
+## rotv(w)*r' == eye(3).
+##
+## If used as, [v,a]=rotparams(r) , idem, with v (1 x 3) s.t. w == a*v.
+##
+## 0 <= norm(w)==a <= pi
+##
+## :-O !! Does not check if 'r' is a rotation matrix.
+##
+## Ignores matrices with zero rows or with NaNs. (returns 0 for them)
