XYZ
3D

• XYZ is a setting for the Coordinates option that is used with coordinate conversion functions to specify the right-handed coordinate system X-Y-Z.

• See also: CylindricalToXYZ, SphericalToXYZ, XYZToCylindrical, XYZToSpherical.

Further Examples

Load the Modeler3D package.

In[1]:=

Here is a vector in Cartesian coordinates converted to cylindrical.

In[2]:=
Out[2]=

Here it is converted back to Cartesian, but with a different ordering of x, y, and z.

In[3]:=
Out[3]=
Out[4]=

Here is a vector in spherical coordinates converted to Cartesian.

In[5]:=
Out[5]=

Converting this back to spherical coordinates yields something that requires a few assumptions to be reduced to its original form.

In[6]:=
Out[6]=
