Transform spherical coordinates to Cartesian
[x,y,z] = sph2cart(THETA,PHI,R)
[x,y,z] = sph2cart(THETA,PHI,R)
transforms the corresponding elements of spherical coordinate arrays to Cartesian, or xyz, coordinates. THETA, PHI, and R must all be the same size. THETA and PHI are angular displacements in radians from the positive x-axis and from the x-y plane, respectively.
The mapping from spherical coordinates to three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates is:
cart2pol Transform Cartesian coordinates to polar or cylindrical
cart2sph Transform Cartesian coordinates to spherical
pol2cart Transform polar or cylindrical coordinates to Cartesian
