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

Detailed_Input

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

Detailed_Output

   radius      is the distance of the point from the origin.

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

   lon         is the longitude of the input point. This is 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 output in radians. The range of `lon'
               is [-pi, pi].


   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 output in radians. The range of `lat'
               is [-pi/2, pi/2].

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   Error free.

   1)  If the X and Y components of `rectan' are both zero, the
       longitude is set to zero.

   2)  If `rectan' is the zero vector, longitude and latitude are
       both set to zero.

Files

   None.

Particulars

   This routine returns the latitudinal coordinates of a point
   whose position is input in rectangular 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 thes 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:
