function	mycart2cyl (in x, in y, in z)

Detailed Description

Converts Cartesian coordinates to cylindrical coordinates.

Given Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z), this function returns the corresponding cylindrical coordinates: radial distance rho, azimuthal angle phi, and z.

Parameters

x	X-coordinate(s)
y	Y-coordinate(s)
z	Z-coordinate(s)

Return values

rho	Radial distance(s) from the origin
phi	Azimuthal angle(s) in radians
z	Z-coordinate(s), unchanged from input
