/*! Input 9 floats and make an orthgonal mat44 out of them.

   Each row is normalized, then nifti_mat33_polar() is used to orthogonalize
   them.  If row #3 (r31,r32,r33) is input as zero, then it will be taken to
   be the cross product of rows #1 and #2.

   This function can be used to create a rotation matrix for transforming
   an oblique volume to anatomical coordinates.  For this application:
    - row #1 (r11,r12,r13) is the direction vector along the image i-axis
    - row #2 (r21,r22,r23) is the direction vector along the image j-axis
    - row #3 (r31,r32,r33) is the direction vector along the slice direction
      (if available; otherwise enter it as 0's)

   The first 2 rows can be taken from the DICOM attribute (0020,0037)
   "Image Orientation (Patient)".

   After forming the rotation matrix, the complete affine transformation from
   (i,j,k) grid indexes to (x,y,z) spatial coordinates can be computed by
   multiplying each column by the appropriate grid spacing:
    - column #1 (R.m[0][0],R.m[1][0],R.m[2][0]) by delta-x
    - column #2 (R.m[0][1],R.m[1][1],R.m[2][1]) by delta-y
    - column #3 (R.m[0][2],R.m[1][2],R.m[2][2]) by delta-z

   and by then placing the center (x,y,z) coordinates of voxel (0,0,0) into
   the column #4 (R.m[0][3],R.m[1][3],R.m[2][3]).
