	<brief_description>
		A 3×3 matrix for representing 3D rotation and scale.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		A 3×3 matrix used for representing 3D rotation and scale. Usually used as an orthogonal basis for a [Transform3D].
		Contains 3 vector fields X, Y and Z as its columns, which are typically interpreted as the local basis vectors of a transformation. For such use, it is composed of a scaling and a rotation matrix, in that order (M = R.S).
		Basis can also be accessed as an array of 3D vectors. These vectors are usually orthogonal to each other, but are not necessarily normalized (due to scaling).
		For more information, read the "Matrices and transforms" documentation article.

	<methods>
		<method name="determinant" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="float" />
			<description>
				Returns the determinant of the basis matrix. If the basis is uniformly scaled, its determinant is the square of the scale.
				A negative determinant means the basis has a negative scale. A zero determinant means the basis isn't invertible, and is usually considered invalid.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="from_euler" qualifiers="static">
			<return type="Basis" />
			<param index="0" name="euler" type="Vector3" />
			<param index="1" name="order" type="int" default="2" />
			<description>
				Constructs a pure rotation Basis matrix from Euler angles in the specified Euler rotation order. By default, use YXZ order (most common). See the [enum EulerOrder] enum for possible values.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="from_scale" qualifiers="static">
			<return type="Basis" />
			<param index="0" name="scale" type="Vector3" />
			<description>
				Constructs a pure scale basis matrix with no rotation or shearing. The scale values are set as the diagonal of the matrix, and the other parts of the matrix are zero.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_euler" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Vector3" />
			<param index="0" name="order" type="int" default="2" />
			<description>
				Returns the basis's rotation in the form of Euler angles. The Euler order depends on the [param order] parameter, by default it uses the YXZ convention: when decomposing, first Z, then X, and Y last. The returned vector contains the rotation angles in the format (X angle, Y angle, Z angle).
				Consider using the [method get_rotation_quaternion] method instead, which returns a [Quaternion] quaternion instead of Euler angles.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_rotation_quaternion" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Quaternion" />
			<description>
				Returns the basis's rotation in the form of a quaternion. See [method get_euler] if you need Euler angles, but keep in mind quaternions should generally be preferred to Euler angles.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_scale" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Vector3" />
			<description>
				Assuming that the matrix is the combination of a rotation and scaling, return the absolute value of scaling factors along each axis.
			</description>
		</method>

		</method>
		<method name="looking_at" qualifiers="static">
			<return type="Basis" />
			<param index="0" name="target" type="Vector3" />
			<param index="1" name="up" type="Vector3" default="Vector3(0, 1, 0)" />
			<param index="2" name="use_model_front" type="bool" default="false" />
			<description>
				Creates a Basis with a rotation such that the forward axis (-Z) points towards the [param target] position.
				The up axis (+Y) points as close to the [param up] vector as possible while staying perpendicular to the forward axis. The resulting Basis is orthonormalized. The [param target] and [param up] vectors cannot be zero, and cannot be parallel to each other.
				If [param use_model_front] is [code]true[/code], the +Z axis (asset front) is treated as forward (implies +X is left) and points toward the [param target] position. By default, the -Z axis (camera forward) is treated as forward (implies +X is right).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="orthonormalized" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Basis" />
			<description>

			</description>
		</method>

			<param index="0" name="axis" type="Vector3" />
			<param index="1" name="angle" type="float" />
			<description>
				Introduce an additional rotation around the given axis by [param angle] (in radians). The axis must be a normalized vector.
