function [newx,newy,newz]=rotatedata(xdata,ydata,zdata,azel,alpha,origin)
% 
% ROTATEDATA rotate data about specified origin and direction.
% 
%   ROTATEDATA(Xdata,Ydata,Zdata,[THETA PHI],ALPHA,ORIGIN) rotates the objects with handles H
%   through angle ALPHA about an axis described by the 2-element
%   direction vector [THETA PHI] (spherical coordinates).  
%   All the angles are in degrees.  The handles in H must be children
%   of the same axes.
%
%   THETA is the angle in the xy plane counterclockwise from the
%   positive x axis.  PHI is the elevation of the direction vector
%   from the xy plane (see also SPH2CART).  Positive ALPHA is defined
%   as the righthand-rule angle about the direction vector as it
%   extends from the origin.
%
%   ROTATEDATA(Xdata,Ydata,Zdata,[X Y Z],ALPHA,ORIGIN) rotates the objects about the direction
%   vector [X Y Z] (Cartesian coordinates). The direction vector
%   is the vector from the center of the plot box to (X,Y,Z).
%
%   See also SPH2CART, CART2SPH.
