Transform cartesian into polar coordinates, resp. to spherical coordinates and vice versa.
CartToPol(x, y)
PolToCart(r, theta)CartToSph(x, y, z, up = TRUE)
SphToCart(r, theta, phi, up = TRUE)
PolToCart returns a list of x and y coordinates of the points.
CartToPol returns a list of r for the radius and theta for the angles of the given points.
vectors with the xy-coordianates to be transformed.
a vector with the radius of the points.
a vector with the angle(s) of the points.
a vector with the angle(s) of the points.
logical. If set to TRUE (default) theta is measured from x-y plane, else theta is measured from the z-axis.

Angles are in radians, not degrees (i.e., a right angle is pi/2). Use DegToRad to convert,
if you don't wanna do it by yourself.
All parameters are recycled if necessary.
CartToPol(x=1, y=1)
CartToPol(x=c(1,2,3), y=c(1,1,1))
CartToPol(x=c(1,2,3), y=1)
PolToCart(r=1, theta=pi/2)
PolToCart(r=c(1,2,3), theta=pi/2)
CartToSph(x=1, y=2, z=3) # r=3.741657, theta=0.930274, phi=1.107149
