spherical-tools 0.1.1

Utilities for working with spherical geometry

spherical-tools

Convert between geographic, spherical, and Cartesian coordinates. This is a lightweight Python library designed for geoscientists working with coordinates on the sphere.

📦 Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install spherical-tools

Or install the latest development version:

pip install git+https://github.com/tom-new/spherical-tools.git

🚀 Quick Start

import spherical_tools as st

# Convert from spherical (r, theta, phi) to Cartesian
# theta = azimuthal angle, phi = polar angle
x, y, z = st.sph2cart([1, 30, 60], degrees=True)

# convert from Cartesian to spherical
r, theta, phi = st.cart2sph([x, y, z], degrees=True)

By deafault, angles are in radians but input and output angles can be in degrees by setting degrees=True.

📚 Function Reference

• sph2cart(r, theta, phi, degrees=False)
• cart2sph(x, y, z, degrees=False)
