CART2CYL Convert cartesian to cylindrical coordinates. CYL = cart2cyl(POINT) convert the 3D cartesian coordinates of points POINT (given by [X Y Z] where X, Y, Z have the same size) into cylindrical coordinates CYL, given by [THETA R Z]. THETA is the arctangent of the ratio Y/X (between 0 and 2*PI) R can be computed using sqrt(X^2+Y^2) Z keeps the same value. The size of THETA, and R is the same as the size of X, Y and Z. CYL = cart2cyl(X, Y, Z) provides coordinates as 3 different parameters Example cart2cyl([-1 0 2]) gives : 4.7124 1.0000 2.0000 See also agles3d, cart2pol, cart2sph2 ------ Author: David Legland e-mail: david.legland@jouy.inra.fr Created: 2006-03-23 Copyright 2006 INRA - CEPIA Nantes - MIAJ (Jouy-en-Josas).
