coordinates function

Coordinate Transformations

Converts vector between Cartesian and geographical coordinate systems

cartesian_to_geographical(n)

geographical_to_cartesian(p)

geographical_to_spherical(p)

Arguments

• n: Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) as vector
• p: Geographical coordinates (latitude, longitude) as vector

Returns

Functions return a (2- or 3-dimensional) vector representing a point in the requested coordinate system.

Examples

n <- c(1, -2, 3)
cartesian_to_geographical(n)
p <- c(50, 10)
geographical_to_cartesian(p)
