function varargout = cyl2cart(varargin)
%CYL2CART  Convert cylindrical to cartesian coordinates
%
%   CART = cyl2cart(CYL)
%   convert the 3D cylindrical coordinates of points CYL (given by 
%   [THETA R Z] where THETA, R, and Z have the same size) into cartesian
%   coordinates CART, given by [X Y Z]. 
%   The transforms is the following :
%   X = R*cos(THETA);
%   Y = R*sin(THETA);
%   Z remains inchanged.
%
%   CART = cyl2cart(THETA, R, Z)
%   provides coordinates as 3 different parameters
%
%   Example
%   cyl2cart([-1 0 2])
%   gives : 4.7124    1.0000     2.0000
