## Detailed Description

Transformations between cartesian and triaxial coordinates.

The Cartesian3 class supports transformations between cartesian coordinates and various coordinates for a triaxial ellipsoid. This is covered in Appendices A and B of

- C. F. F. Karney,
  Jacobi's solution for geodesics on a triaxial ellipsoid,
  Technical Report, SRI International, Nov. 2025.
  arxiv:2511.01621

Besides ellipsoidal coordinates defined in Ellipsoid3, the following coordinates are supported:

- geodetic coordinates \((\phi, \lambda)\) defined by

  \[ \hat{\mathbf U} = [\cos\phi \cos\lambda, \cos\phi \sin\lambda, \sin\phi]^T, \]

  where \(\hat{\mathbf U}\) is the normal to the surface of the ellipsoid.
- parametric coordinates \((\phi', \lambda')\) defined by

  \[ \mathbf R = [a \cos\phi' \cos\lambda', b \cos\phi' \sin\lambda', c \sin\phi']^T, \]

- geocentric coordinates \((\phi'', \lambda'')\) defined by

  \[ \hat{\mathbf R} = [\cos\phi'' \cos\lambda'', \cos\phi'' \sin\lambda'', \sin\phi'']^T. \]

For each of these 3 coordinates, the "north pole" is at \([0, 0, c]^T\) and the origin for longitudes is \([a, 0, 0]^T\). We also define alternate versions (named "geodetic*", etc., where the north pole is placed at \([a, 0, 0]^T\) and the origin for longitude is \([0, 0, -c]\). This latter set of coordinates is appropriate for ellipsoids that are nearly prolate.

Directions on the ellipsoid are easily specified in cartesian coordinates as a vector tangent to the surface of the ellipsoid. This is converted to a heading by defined the angle the vector makes (measured clockwise) from the coordinate-specific north. This is defined as the direction of a line of constant (coordinate-specific) longitude. The resulting heading is denoted by \(\alpha\) for ellipsoidal coordinates and by \(\zeta\) for the other coordinates. The unstarred coordinates all share the same direction for north, and likewise for the starred coordinates. Note that the lines of constant longitude and latitude are only orthogonal (in general) for ellipsoidal coordinates.

Arbitrary points (not necessarily lying on the ellipsoid) an additional "height" is required to specify the position. For ellipsoidal coordinates, we find the confocal ellipsoid on which the point lies and the height is then defined as \(H = u - c\) where \(u\) is the semiminor axes of the confocal ellipsoid; the ellipsoid latitude and longitude are those for the confocal ellipsoid For the other coordinates systems, we define \(h\) a the height above the closest point on the ellipsoid and the latitude and longitude refer to the closest point.

Note
  The family of confocal ellipsoids has semiaxes \([\sqrt{a^2 - c^2 + u^2}, \sqrt{b^2 - c^2 + u^2}, u]\).
  In the function names "any" stands for any of the seven coordinate systems enumerated by Cartesian3::coord. "cart2" refers to a point given in cartesian coordinates that lies on the ellipsoid. On the other hand, "cart" refers to an arbitrary point.
