topolar#
Purpose#
Converts from Cartesian to polar coordinates.
Format#
- { r, theta } = topolar(xy)#
- Parameters:
xy (complex matrix) – NxK complex matrix containing the x coordinate in the real part and the y coordinate in the imaginary part
- Returns:
r (NxK real matrix) – radius.
theta (NxK real matrix) – angle in radians.
Examples#
// Create a Cartesian point (x=3, y=4)
// as a complex number
xy = complex(3, 4);
{ r, theta } = topolar(xy);
print r;
print theta;
The code above produces the following output:
5.0000000
0.92729522
