Hi, I need to do some simple coordinate transforms between cartesian, cylindrical and spherical coordinates. I can't find any built in functions or packages to do this, is this because they do not exist? Obviously I can write my own code, but don't want to re-invent the wheel if I can avoid it. Cheers, Matt

There are several contributed packages that do at least spherical
coordinates. Try
RSiteSearch("spherical coordinates")
to find them.
