cartesian_to_spherical(vector)

source code 

Convert the Cartesian vector [x, y, z] to spherical coordinates [r, theta, phi].

The parameter r is the radial distance, theta is the polar angle, and phi is the azimuth.

Parameters:
  • vector (numpy rank-1, 3D array) - The Cartesian vector [x, y, z].
Returns: numpy rank-1, 3D array
The spherical coordinate vector [r, theta, phi].

spherical_to_cartesian(spherical_vect, cart_vect)

source code 

Convert the spherical coordinate vector [r, theta, phi] to the Cartesian vector [x, y, z].

The parameter r is the radial distance, theta is the polar angle, and phi is the azimuth.

Parameters:
  • spherical_vect (3D array or list) - The spherical coordinate vector [r, theta, phi].
  • cart_vect (3D array or list) - The Cartesian vector [x, y, z].
