function	mycyl2sph (in rho, in phi, in z)

Detailed Description

Converts cylindrical coordinates to spherical coordinates.

This function transforms cylindrical coordinates (rho, phi, z) into spherical coordinates (r, theta, phi). The azimuthal angle phi is preserved. Theta is measured from the positive z-axis.

Parameters

rho	Radial distance in the xy-plane [m]
phi	Azimuthal angle [rad]
z	Height coordinate [m]

Return values

r	Radial distance from origin [m]
theta	Elevation angle from z-axis [rad]
phi_	Azimuthal angle [rad] (same as input phi)
