I want to make a macro for rotation. Basically its a rotation macro for camera.
Is there any way to make a macro in which I have to give only x, y, z values and
that results into the rotation of camera.
There are some other like Set_camera_... so can we make one for rotation?

Need a little more information.Do you want to rotate the position of the 
camera while looking at the same spot or rotate the spot your looking at 
or both these?
Any way 'Transforms.inc' has several macros you can use.

I want the rotation of camera, looking at the same spot. Actually I want it in
azimuth amd elevation of camera

As Leroy has said, transforms.inc has the appropriate macros. I'm
guessing that Rotate_Around_Trans() is probably the one you're looking
for. The point you rotate around is your camera's look_at.
