A method of vector3d.

the vectors of polar angle theta to z and azimuth rho from x towards y, unit vectors

Syntax

v = vector3d.byPolar(theta, rho)

Directions.

v = vector3d.byPolar(theta, rho, antipodal=True)

Axes.

Description

theta and rho broadcast against each other.

Input

`theta`	the polar angles, 0 at z
`rho`	the azimuths, 0 at x

Keywords

keyword	default	description
`antipodal`	`False`	the vectors as axes, v and -v one

Output

`v`	vector3d of unit vectors
