/** Computes an axis base (a set of three 3D normal vectors) with the given
  vector being the first of them ("X")
  * NOTE: Make sure of passing all floats or doubles and that the template of
  the receiving matrix is of the same type!
  *
  *  If   \f$ d = [ dx ~ dy ~ dz ] \f$ is the input vector, then this function
  returns a matrix \f$ M \f$ such as:
  *
        \f[  M = \left(
                        \begin{array}{c c c}
                        v^1_x ~ v^2_x ~ v^3_x \\
                        v^1_y ~ v^2_y ~ v^3_y \\
                        v^1_z ~ v^2_z ~ v^3_z
                        \end{array} \right)
        \f]
  *
  *   And the three normal vectors are computed as:
        *
        *  \f[ v^1 = \frac{d}{|d|}  \f]
        *
        * If (dx!=0 or dy!=0):
        * \f[ v^2 = \frac{[-dy ~ dx ~ 0 ]}{\sqrt{dx^2+dy^2}}  \f]
        * otherwise (the direction vector is vertical):
        * \f[ v^2 = [1 ~ 0 ~ 0]  \f]
        *
        * And finally, the third vector is the cross product of the others:
        *
        *    \f[ v^3 = v^1 \times v^2  \f]
  *
  * \return The 3x3 matrix (CMatrixTemplateNumeric<T>), containing one vector
  per column.
  * \except Throws an std::exception on invalid input (i.e. null direction
  vector)
        * \sa generateAxisBaseFromDirectionAndAxis()
