Particulars

   This routine returns the cylindrical coordinates of a point
   whose position is input in latitudinal coordinates.

   Latitudinal coordinates are defined by a distance from a central
   reference point, an angle from a reference meridian, and an angle
   above the equator of a sphere centered at the central reference
   point.

Examples

   The numerical results shown for these examples may differ across
   platforms. The results depend on the SPICE kernels used as
   input, the compiler and supporting libraries, and the machine
   specific arithmetic implementation.

   1) Compute the latitudinal coordinates of the position of the Moon
      as seen from the Earth, and convert them to cylindrical and
      rectangular coordinates.

      Use the meta-kernel shown below to load the required SPICE
      kernels.

         This meta-kernel is intended to support operation of SPICE
         example programs. The kernels shown here should not be
         assumed to contain adequate or correct versions of data
         required by SPICE-based user applications.

         In order for an application to use this meta-kernel, the
         kernels referenced here must be present in the user's
         current working directory.

         The names and contents of the kernels referenced
         by this meta-kernel are as follows:

   3) Other than the obvious conversion between coordinate systems
      this routine could be used to obtain the axial projection
      from a sphere to a cylinder about the z-axis that contains
      the equator of the sphere.

      Such a projection is valuable because it preserves the
      areas between regions on the sphere and their projections to
      the cylinder.
