Transforms 3D Cartesian coordinates into spherical data. This function works element-wise for arrays.
[a, b, c] = cart_to_sphere(x, y, z)Legacy name: cart2sph
X-coordinates. x is a scalar or an array of any dimension of floating-point or real numbers.
Y-coordinates. y is a scalar or an array of any dimension of floating-point or real numbers of the same shape as x.
Z-coordinates. z is a scalar or an array of any dimension of floating-point or real numbers of the same shape as x.
Azimuthal angles, or the angles measured from the x-axis to the data points projected in the xy-plane. a is an array of the same size as the maximum shape of x, y, and z.
Elevation angles, or the angles measured from the xy-plane to the data points. b is an array of the same size as the maximum shape of x, y, and z.
Radii of the spherical data. c is an array of the same size as the maximum shape of x, y, and z.
MathScript performs the transformation using the following equations:
a = atan2(y, x)
b = atan2(z, sqrt(x.^2+y.^2))
c = sqrt(x.^2+y.^2+z.^2)
[A, B, C] = cart_to_sphere(1, 1, 1)
