CYL2CART Convert cylindrical to cartesian coordinates. CART = cyl2cart(CYL) convert the 3D cylindrical coordinates of points CYL (given by [THETA R Z] where THETA, R, and Z have the same size) into cartesian coordinates CART, given by [X Y Z]. The transforms is the following : X = R*cos(THETA); Y = R*sin(THETA); Z remains inchanged. CART = cyl2cart(THETA, R, Z) provides coordinates as 3 different parameters Example cyl2cart([-1 0 2]) gives : 4.7124 1.0000 2.0000 See also angles3d, cart2pol, cart2sph2, cart2cyl ------ Author: David Legland e-mail: david.legland@jouy.inra.fr Created: 2006-03-23 Copyright 2006 INRA - CEPIA Nantes - MIAJ (Jouy-en-Josas).
