   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   radius     I   Distance of a point from the origin.
   lon        I   Longitude of point in radians.
   lat        I   Latitude of point in radians.
   rectan     O   Rectangular coordinates of the point.

Detailed_Input

   radius      is the distance of a point from the origin.

   lon         is the longitude of the input point. This is the angle
               between the prime meridian and the meridian containing
               `rectan'. The direction of increasing longitude is from
               the +X axis towards the +Y axis.

               `lon' is measured in radians. On input, the range
               of longitude is unrestricted.

   lat         is the latitude of the input point. This is the angle
               from the XY plane of the ray from the origin through the
               point.

               `lat' is measured in radians. On input, the range of
               latitude is unrestricted.

Detailed_Output

   rectan      are the rectangular coordinates of the input point.
               `rectan' is a 3 vector.

               The units associated with `rectan' are those
               associated with the input `radius'.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   Error free.

Files

   None.

Particulars

   This routine returns the rectangular 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 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:

       Changed input argument names "longitude" and "latitude to "lon"
       and "lat" for consistency with other routines.

       Edited the header to comply with NAIF standard. Added
       complete code examples based on existing example.
