pol2cart - Transform polar or cylindrical coordinates to Cartesian
Syntax
[X,Y] = pol2cart(THETA,RHO)
[X,Y,Z] = pol2cart(THETA,RHO,Z)
Description
[X,Y] = pol2cart(THETA,RHO) transforms
the polar coordinate data stored in corresponding elements of THETA and RHO to
two-dimensional Cartesian, or xy, coordinates. The arrays THETA and RHO must
be the same size (or either can be scalar). The values in THETA must
be in radians.
xyz, [X,Y,Z] = pol2cart(THETA,RHO,Z) transforms
the cylindrical coordinate data stored in corresponding elements of THETA, RHO,
and Z to three-dimensional Cartesian, or coordinates. The
arrays THETA, RHO, and Z must
be the same size (or any can be scalar). The values in THETA must
be in radians.
