   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   x          I   x-coordinate of point.
   y          I   y-coordinate of point.
   z          I   z-coordinate of point.
   azccw      I   Flag indicating how azimuth is measured.
   elplsz     I   Flag indicating how elevation is measured.
   jacobi     O   Matrix of partial derivatives.

Detailed_Input

   x,
   y,
   z           are the rectangular coordinates of the point at
               which the Jacobian matrix of the map from rectangular
               to azimuth/elevation coordinates is desired.

   azccw       is a flag indicating how the azimuth is measured.

               If `azccw' is SPICETRUE, the azimuth increases in the
               counterclockwise direction; otherwise it increases
               in the clockwise direction.

   elplsz      is a flag indicating how the elevation is measured.

               If `elplsz' is SPICETRUE, the elevation increases from the
               XY plane toward +Z; otherwise toward -Z.

Detailed_Output

   jacobi      is the matrix of partial derivatives of the
               transformation from rectangular to azimuth/elevation
               coordinates. It has the form

                  .-                            -.
                  |  dr/dx     dr/dy     dr/dz   |
                  |  daz/dx    daz/dy    daz/dz  |
                  |  del/dx    del/dy    del/dz  |
                  `-                            -'

                evaluated at the input values of `x', `y', and `z'.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   1)  If the input point is on the Z-axis ( x = 0 and y = 0 ), the
       Jacobian matrix is undefined and therefore, the error
       SPICE(POINTONZAXIS) is signaled by a routine in the call tree
       of this routine.

Files

   None.

Particulars

   When performing vector calculations with velocities it is
   usually most convenient to work in rectangular coordinates.
   However, once the vector manipulations have been performed
   it is often desirable to convert the rectangular representations
   into azimuth/elevation coordinates to gain insights about
   phenomena in this coordinate system.

   To transform rectangular velocities to derivatives of coordinates
   in an azimuth/elevation coordinate system, one uses the Jacobian
   matrix of the transformation between the two systems.

   Given a state in rectangular coordinates

      ( x, y, z, dx, dy, dz )

   the corresponding azimuth/elevation coordinate derivatives are
   given by the matrix equation:

                    t          |                      t
      (dr, daz, del)   = jacobi|        * (dx, dy, dz)
                               |(x,y,z)

   This routine computes the matrix

            |
      jacobi|
            |(x, y, z)

   In the azimuth/elevation coordinate system, several conventions
   exist on how azimuth and elevation are measured. Using the `azccw'
   and `elplsz' flags, users indicate which conventions shall be used.
   See the descriptions of these input arguments for details.

Examples

   The numerical results shown for this example 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) Find the azimuth/elevation state of Venus as seen from the
      DSS-14 station at a given epoch. Map this state back to
      rectangular coordinates as a check.

      Task description
      ================

      In this example, we will obtain the apparent state of Venus as
      seen from the DSS-14 station in the DSS-14 topocentric
      reference frame. We will use a station frames kernel and
      transform the resulting rectangular coordinates to azimuth,
      elevation and range and its derivatives using recazl_c and
      dazldr_c.

      We will map this state back to rectangular coordinates using
      azlrec_c and drdazl_c.

      In order to introduce the usage of the logical flags `azccw'
      and `elplsz', we will request the azimuth to be measured
      clockwise and the elevation positive towards +Z
      axis of the DSS-14_TOPO reference frame.
