Datablocks for the LSQ menu

Each transformation saved by the program creates 4 data blocks. If the user saved a transformation under the name rbp_to_p2, then the following would be created:

.lsq_rt_rbp_to_p2 : the transformation matrix, stored columnwise, as the following 12 real numbers:

x  =  R(1)x + R(4)y + R(7)z + R(10)
y  =  R(2)x + R(5)y + R(8)z + R(11)
z  =  R(3x + R(6)y + R(9)z + R(12)

This data block can be used to specify operators that are applied to 3-D objects such as maps (command Rot_tran_obj), objects (command Lsq_obj) or molecular coordinates (command Lsq_mol).
