        Get a vector orthogonal to the instance.

        There are an infinite number of normalized vectors orthogonal to the instance. This method picks up one of them almost arbitrarily. It is useful when one needs to compute a reference frame with one of the axes in a predefined direction. The following example shows how to build a frame having the k axis aligned with the known vector u : 

        
   Vector3D k = u.normalize();
   Vector3D i = k.orthogonal();
   Vector3D j = Vector3D.crossProduct(k, i);

        Compute the angular separation between two vectors.

        This method computes the angular separation between two vectors using the dot product for well separated vectors and the cross product for almost aligned vectors. This allows to have a good accuracy in all cases, even for vectors very close to each other.

        Parameters:
        v1 - first vector
        v2 - second vector

        Test for the equality of two 3D vectors.

        If all coordinates of two 3D vectors are exactly the same, and none are Double.NaN, the two 3D vectors are considered to be equal.
