Abstract


   CSPICE_CYLREC converts cylindrical coordinates to rectangular
   (Cartesian) coordinates.

I/O


   Given:

      r        the value(s) describing the distance of the point of
               interest from z axis.

               [1,n] = size(r); double = class(r)

      clon     the value(s) describing the cylindrical angle of the point of
               interest from the XZ plane measured in radians.

               [1,n] = size(clon); double = class(clon)

      z        the value(s) describing the height of the point above
               the XY plane.

               [1,n] = size(z); double = class(z)

   the call:

      [rectan] = cspice_cylrec( r, clon, z)

   returns:

      rectan   the array(s) containing the rectangular coordinates of the
               position or set of positions

               [3,n] = size(rectan); double = class(rectan)

               The argument `rectan' returns in the same units associated
               with `r' and `z'.

               `rectan' returns with the same vectorization measure (N) as
               `r', `clon', and `z'.

Parameters


   None.

Examples


   Any numerical results shown for these examples may differ between
   platforms as the results depend on the SPICE kernels used as input
   and the machine specific arithmetic implementation.

   1) Compute the cylindrical 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.


         KPL/MK

         File name: cylrec_ex1.tm

         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:

            File name                     Contents

Particulars


   This routine transforms the coordinates of a point from
   cylindrical to rectangular coordinates.

Exceptions


   1)  If any of the input arguments, `r', `clon' or `z', is
       undefined, an error is signaled by the Matlab error handling
       system.

   2)  If any of the input arguments, `r', `clon' or `z', is not of
       the expected type, or it does not have the expected dimensions
       and size, an error is signaled by the Mice interface.

   3)  If the input vectorizable arguments `r', `clon' and `z' do not
       have the same measure of vectorization (N), an error is
       signaled by the Mice interface.

Version


   -Mice Version 1.1.0, 23-AUG-2021 (EDW) (JDR)

       Changed input argument name "lonc" to "clon" for consistency with
       other functions.

       Edited the header to comply with NAIF standard. Added
       meta-kernel to example #1. Updated code example #1 to produce
       formatted output and added a call to cspice_kclear. Added the
       problem statement to both examples.

       Added -Parameters, -Exceptions, -Files, -Restrictions,
       -Literature_References and -Author_and_Institution sections, and
       completed -Particulars section.

       Eliminated use of "lasterror" in rethrow.

       Removed reference to the function's corresponding CSPICE header from
       -Required_Reading section.

   -Mice Version 1.0.1, 30-OCT-2014 (EDW)

       Edited -I/O section to conform to NAIF standard for Mice
       documentation.

   -Mice Version 1.0.0, 22-NOV-2005 (EDW)
