Converting Points from Cartesian to Polar or Spherical Form

QuickDraw 3D provides routines that you can use to convert two-dimensional points from Cartesian form (x, y) to polar form (r, q), and vice versa. QuickDraw 3D also provides routines that you can use to convert three-dimensional points from Cartesian form (x, y, z) to spherical form (r, q, f), and vice versa.
