SYNOPSIS
subroutine cartesian_to_spherical(x,y,z,radius,inclination,azimuth)
real,intent(in) :: x,y,z real,intent(out) :: radius,inclination,azimuth
DESCRIPTION
Convert a cartesian point <X,Y,Z> to ISO 8000-2:2009 polar coordinates <radius, inclination, azimuth> with angles in radians using the formulas
radius=sqrt(x**2+y**2+z**2) inclination=acos(z/radius) azimuth=atan2(y,x)
OPTIONS
X The distance along the x-axis Y The distance along the y-axis Z The distance along the z-axis
RESULTS
RADIUS The radial distance from the origin (O) to the point (P) INCLINATION The zenith angle in radians between the zenith reference direction (z-axis) and the line OP AZIMUTH The azimuth angle in radians between the azimuth reference direction (x-axis) and the orthogonal projection of the line OP of the reference plane (x-y plane).
