spheres.coordinates.sph_xyz

spheres.coordinates.sph_xyz(sph)

Converts spherical coordinates \((\theta, \phi)\) to cartesian coordinates \((x, y, z)\). We use the physicist’s convention: \(\theta \in [0, \pi]\), \(\phi \in [0, 2\pi]\).

\(x = \sin{\theta}\cos(\phi)\)

\(y = \sin{\theta}\sin(\phi)\)

\(z = \cos(\theta)\)

Parameters

sph (list/np.ndarray) – (List of) Spherical coordinates.

Returns

xyz – (List of) Cartesian coordinates.

Return type

np.ndarray
