Detailed Description
template<typename DegreeOrRadian>
struct ggl::cs::spherical< DegreeOrRadian >
Spherical coordinate system, in
degree or in
radian.
Defines the spherical coordinate system where points are defined in two angles and an optional radius usually known as r, theta, phi
- Coordinates:
- coordinate 0: 0 <= phi < 2pi is the angle between the positive x-axis and the line from the origin to the P projected onto the xy-plane.
- coordinate 1: 0 <= theta <= pi is the angle between the positive z-axis and the line formed between the origin and P.
- coordinate 2 (if specified): r >= 0 is the distance from the origin to a given point P.
