DESCRIPTION
Direction cosines to spherical coordinates.
(double precision)
Given
v double[3] x,y,z vector
Returned
*a,*b double spherical coordinates in radians
The spherical coordinates are longitude (+ve anticlockwise
looking from the +ve latitude pole) and latitude. The
Cartesian coordinates are right handed, with the x axis
at zero longitude and latitude, and the z axis at the
+ve latitude pole.
If v is null, zero a and b are returned.
At either pole, zero a is returned.
