Method Details

toCartesian (self, name='', **Cartesian_and_kwds)

Convert this RadiusThetaPhi3Tuple to a cartesian (x, y, z) vector.

Arguments:

name - Optional name (str), overriding this name.
Cartesian_and_kwds - Optional Cartesian=None class and additional Cartesian keyword arguments.

Returns:

A Cartesian(x, y, z) instance or if no Cartesian keyword argument is given, a Vector3Tuple(x, y, z) with x, y and z in the same units as radius r, meter conventionally.
