Cartesian To Spherical Converter
Convert a Cartesian 3D point to radius, azimuth and a selected spherical angle convention.
Open toolCartesian To Cylindrical Converter
Convert 3D Cartesian coordinates to cylindrical radius, azimuth and height. Provide X, Y, Z to compute results directly in your browser. r=hypot(x,y); azimuth=atan2(y,x), normalized to [0,2*pi). At x=y=0 the convention sets azimuth to zero and states that it is otherwise undefined. Inputs and results use floating-point numbers; output shows up to 12 significant digits. Rounding can occur.

Practical Worked Examples for Cartesian To Cylindrical Converter
These concrete scenarios illustrate how the Cartesian To Cylindrical Converter processes baseline inputs, comparison checks, and boundary constraints.
Baseline run (X = 3)
X = 3; Y = 4; Z = 5; Angle output = Degrees. The displayed output is Radius: 5 Azimuth: 53.1301023542 deg Z: 5 Azimuth convention: Normalized to [0, 360 deg) or [0, 2*pi rad).
Comparison scenario (cartesian to cylindrical conversion)
X = 0; Y = -2; Z = -1; Angle output = Radians. The displayed output is Radius: 2 Azimuth: 4.71238898038 rad Z: -1 Azimuth convention: Normalized to [0, 360 deg) or [0, 2*pi rad).
Boundary & unit check (Cartesian To Cylindrical Converter)
When solving for 'cartesian to cylindrical converter', verify that X, Y, Z use consistent units and stay within the documented scope: r=hypot(x,y); azimuth=atan2(y,x), normalized to [0,2*pi). At x=y=0 the convention sets azimuth to zero and states that it is otherwise undefined. Inputs and results use floating-point numbers; output shows up to 12 significant digits. Rounding can occur.
How to Read and Verify the Cartesian To Cylindrical Converter Output
The output panel reports the exact result derived from X, Y, Z alongside any unit or formatting notes.
The result is the radius, azimuth and height. Express a three-dimensional point with a radial distance and azimuth.
The stated zero-axis convention is required because azimuth is undefined on that axis.
Numerical output shows up to 12 significant digits. Floating-point arithmetic and display rounding can affect the last digits.
- Example input
- X = 3; Y = 4; Z = 5; Angle output = Degrees
- Example output
- Radius: 5 Azimuth: 53.1301023542 deg Z: 5 Azimuth convention: Normalized to [0, 360 deg) or [0, 2*pi rad)
