Gradient Vector from Polar to Cartesian Coordinates
Victor Olaya & Volker Wichmann (c) 2004-2010
Converts gradient vector from polar coordinates (direction or aspect angle and length or tangens of slope) to directional components (Cartesian).
The module supports three conventions on how the angle of direction can be supplied:
(a) mathematical: direction angle is zero in East direction and the angle increases counterclockwise
(b) geographical: direction angle is zero in North direction and the angle increases clockwise
(c) zero direction and orientation are user defined
