Converts latitudes and longitudes on the sphere
into 3D Cartesian coordinates.
Usage
spatialpos(lon, lat)
Arguments
lon
A vector, matrix column, or list of longitudes
lat
A vector, matrix column, or list of longitudes
Value
A matrix with one row per set of Cartesian coordinates
Details
The longitudes and latitudes can be input as a single entity (i.e. a 2
column matrix, or pair of lists) rather than as separate entities.
