car2pol: Cartesian to polar/cylindrical coordinate conversion
Description
Convert 2D/3D Cartesian to polar/cylindrical coordinates
Usage
car2pol(x)
Arguments
x
2/3-element or n-by-2/3 matrix representing the Cartesian components (x,y)/(x,y,z) of n two/three-dimensional vectors
Value
Returns a 2/3-element vector or a n-by-2/3 element matrix representing the polar/cylindrical coordinates (r,phi)/(r,phi,z), where phi=0...2*pi is the azimuth measured positively from the x-axis.
