AbstractConvert from spherical coordinates to cylindrical coordinates. Required_ReadingNone. KeywordsCONVERSION COORDINATES Brief_I/OVARIABLE I/O DESCRIPTION -------- --- ------------------------------------------------- radius I Distance of point from origin. colat I Polar angle (co-latitude in radians) of point. slon I Azimuthal angle (longitude) of point (radians). r O Distance of point from Z axis. clon O Angle (radians) of point from XZ plane. z O Height of point above XY plane. Detailed_Inputradius is the distance of the point from origin. colat is the polar angle (co-latitude in radians) of the point. slon is the azimuthal angle (longitude) of the point (radians). Detailed_Output
r is the distance of the point of interest from Z axis.
clon is the cylindrical angle (radians) of the point from the
XZ plane. `clon' is set equal to `slon'.
z is the height of the point above XY plane.
ParametersNone. ExceptionsError free. FilesNone. ParticularsThis returns the cylindrical coordinates of a point whose position is input through spherical coordinates. 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 spherical 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.
Example code begins here.

#include <stdio.h>
#include "SpiceUsr.h"
int main( )
{
/.

./
SpiceDouble clon;
SpiceDouble colat;
SpiceDouble radius;
SpiceDouble r;
SpiceDouble slon;
SpiceDouble z;

Define the point whose projection is to be
computed.
./
radius = 100.0;
slon = 45.0 * rpd_c();
colat = 102.5 * rpd_c();
/.
Convert the spherical coordinates to cylindrical.
./
sphcyl_c ( radius, colat, slon, &r, &clon, &z );
printf( "Coordinates of the projected point on cylinder:\n" );
printf( " \n" );
printf( " Radius (km): %22.11f\n", r );
printf( " Longitude (deg): %22.11f\n", clon*dpr_c() );
printf( " Z (km): %22.11f\n", z );
return ( 0 );
