i have a strange problem by converting spherical coordinates to cartesian. it´s the aim to map coordinate points on a sphere. i have to convert the spherical coordinates i get from the gps to cartesian. but that doesn´t work so far. the strange is, that the results are equal to the following applet http://www.calc3d.com/ejavascriptcoordcalc.html ... that are useless values. the following applet delivers the right x,y and z values i think http://www.pha.jhu.edu/~javalab/spherical/spherical.html

what is wrong with my code? i would be glad for any ideas


float rad = 200;
float x, y, z;


void setup() {
 size (500, 500, P3D);
}


void draw() {
background(255);
stroke(255, 0, 0);
translate (250, 250, 0);

 x = rad * sin (90) * cos (0);
 y = rad * sin (90) * sin (0);
 z = rad * cos (90);
 
 println ("x="+x);
 println ("y="+y);
 println ("z="+z);

 point(z, y, x);
 point(0, 0);

noLoop();
 
}
