Member of the basic class.

Syntax

[x, y] = pol2cart(a, b)

[x, y, z] = pol2cart(a, b, c)

Converts 2D or 3D polar data to Cartesian data. This function works element-wise for matrices.

Name	Description
a	Specifies the angles of the polar data. a is a matrix.
b	Specifies the radii of the polar data. b is a matrix of the same size as a.
c	Specifies the heights of the polar data. c is a matrix of the same size as a.

Name	Description
x	Returns the x-coordinates of the Cartesian data. x is a matrix of the same size as a.
y	Returns the y-coordinates of the Cartesian data. y is a matrix of the same size as a.
z	Returns the z-coordinates of the 3D Cartesian data. z is equivalent to c. z is a matrix of the same size as c.

LabVIEW computes x and y according to the following equations:
x = b.*cos(a).
y = b.*sin(a).

[X, Y, Z] = pol2cart(1, 1, 1)
