       VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
       --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
       rectan     I   Rectangular coordinates of a point.
       r          O   Distance of the point from the origin.
       colat      O   Angle of the point from the Z-axis in radians
       slon       O   Longitude of the point in radians.
#### Detailed_Input
       rectan      are the rectangular coordinates of a point.
#### Detailed_Output
       r           is the distance of the point from the origin.

       colat       is the angle between the point and the positive z-axis in
                   radians. The range of `colat' is [0, pi].

       slon        is the longitude of the point in radians. This is the
                   angle between the positive X-axis and the orthogonal
                   projection of the point onto the XY plane. `slon'
                   increases in the counterclockwise sense about the
                   positive Z-axis. The range of `slon' is [-pi, pi].
#### Parameters
       None.
#### Exceptions
       Error free.
#### Files
       None.
#### Particulars
       This routine returns the spherical coordinates of a point
       whose position is input in rectangular coordinates.

       spherical coordinates are defined by a distance from a central
       reference point, an angle from a reference meridian, and an angle
       from the z-axis.
#### Examples
       The numerical results shown for these examples may differ across
       platforms. The results depend on the SPICE kernels used as
       input, the compiler and supporting libraries, and the machine
       specific arithmetic implementation.

       1) Compute the spherical coordinates of the position of the Moon
          as seen from the Earth, and convert them to rectangular
          coordinates.

          Use the meta-kernel shown below to load the required SPICE
          kernels.

             This meta-kernel is intended to support operation of SPICE
             example programs. The kernels shown here should not be
             assumed to contain adequate or correct versions of data
             required by SPICE-based user applications.

             In order for an application to use this meta-kernel, the
             kernels referenced here must be present in the user's
             current working directory.

             The names and contents of the kernels referenced
             by this meta-kernel are as follows:
