float4::ToSphericalCoordinates

Syntax

float3 float4::ToSphericalCoordinates() const; [11 lines of code]

Converts this euclidean (x,y,z) vector to spherical coordinates representation in the form (azimuth, inclination, radius).

Note
This corresponds to the matrix operation R_y * R_x * (0,0,radius), where R_y is a rotation about the y-axis by azimuth, and R_x is a rotation about the x-axis by inclination. It is valid for the magnitude of this vector to be (very close to) zero, in which case the return value is the zero vector.
