#### Particulars
       This routine returns the cylindrical coordinates of a point
       whose position is input in latitudinal coordinates.

       Latitudinal coordinates are defined by a distance from a central
       reference point, an angle from a reference meridian, and an angle
       above the equator of a sphere centered at the central reference
       point.
#### 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 latitudinal coordinates of the position of the Moon
          as seen from the Earth, and convert them to cylindrical and
          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:

       3) Other than the obvious conversion between coordinate systems
          this routine could be used to obtain the axial projection
          from a sphere to a cylinder about the z-axis that contains
          the equator of the sphere.

          Such a projection is valuable because it preserves the
          areas between regions on the sphere and their projections to
          the cylinder.
