## @var{theta} describes the angle relative to the positive x-axis.
## @var{phi} is the angle relative to the xy-plane.
## @var{r} is the distance to the origin @w{(0, 0, 0)}.
## @var{theta}, @var{phi}, and @var{r} must be the same shape, or scalar.
## If called with a single matrix argument then each row of @var{S}
## represents the spherical coordinate (@var{theta}, @var{phi}, @var{r}).
##
## If only a single return argument is requested then return a matrix
## @var{C} where each row represents one Cartesian coordinate
## (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{z}).
