The fac_matrix_make and tvector_rotate routines aren't listed in pyspedas.readthedocs.io. We should add some documentation for them.

An example notebook would also be nice. Maybe we could adapt thm_crib_fac.pro from IDL SPEDAS.

See also: #790 . Any examples we create should use tvector_rotate, and certainly should not try linearly interpolation rotation matrices over time.

@jameswilburlewis There are several coord options in IDL: ['xgse','rgeo','mrgeo','phigeo','mphigeo','phism','mphism','ygsm','zdsl']. However, it looks like only Xgse is available in pyspedas. Is that correct?
