func best_rays (rays)

/* DOCUMENT best_rays(rays)
     returns 5-element (x,y,z,theta,phi) representation of RAYS.
     The first dimension of RAYS may be length 3, 5, or 6 to represent
     the ray(s) in TDG/DIRT coordinates (x,y,theta), "best" coordinates

     (x,y,z,theta,phi), or internal coordinates (cos,sin,y,z,x,r),
     respectively.  The first dimension of the result always has length 5.


     The "best" coordinate system is the easiest to visualize:
     (x,y,z) represents any point on the ray, while (theta,phi)
     represents the ray direction in standard spherical coordinates
     relative to the +z-axis.  Namely, theta is the angle from the

     +z-direction to the ray direction (between 0 and pi), and phi is
     the counterclockwise angle from the +x-axis to the projection of
     the ray direction into the xy-plane, assuming xyz is a right-handed
     coordinate system.


     As a specification of a ray, this system is doubly redundant because
     the point (x,y,z) could be any point on the ray, and the underlying
     mesh through which the ray propagates is cylindrically symmetric about
     the z-axis.

     However, the slimits parameter -- used to specify the points along

     a ray where the transport integration starts and stops -- is
     measured from the point (x,y,z) specified as a part of the
     (x,y,z,theta,phi) ray coordinate.  Thus, any change in the point
     (x,y,z) on a ray must be accompanied by a corresponding change in
     the slimits for that ray.

func dirt_rays (rays)

/* DOCUMENT dirt_rays(rays)
     returns 3-element (x,y,theta) representation of RAYS.
     The first dimension of RAYS may be length 3, 5, or 6 to represent
     the ray(s) in TDG/DIRT coordinates (x,y,theta), "best" coordinates

     (x,y,z,theta,phi), or internal coordinates (cos,sin,y,z,x,r),
     respectively.  The first dimension of the result always has length 3.


     The TDG/DIRT coordinate system is based on the coordinates (x,y)
     in a plane normal to the ray.  Unfortunately, the old TDG and DIRT
     codes used an angle theta which has the opposite sense from the
     "best" and internal coordinates.  Therefore, conversion from
     TDG/DIRT coordinates to internal coordinates will reverse the

     sign of theta.  Conversion from TDG/DIRT coordinates to "best"
     coordinates always results in positive theta, but the angle phi
     will be pi for positive input theta.

     The slimits parameter -- used to specify the points along

     a ray where the transport integration starts and stops -- is
     measured from the point of closest approach of the ray described
     by (x,y,theta) to the origin x=y=z=0.  Therefore, slimits is
     independent of the TDG/DIRT ray coordinate representation.

func internal_rays (rays)

/* DOCUMENT internal_rays(rays)

     returns 6-element (cos,sin,y,z,x,r) representation of RAYS.
     The first dimension of RAYS may be length 3, 5, or 6 to represent
     the ray(s) in TDG/DIRT coordinates (x,y,theta), "best" coordinates

     (x,y,z,theta,phi), or internal coordinates (cos,sin,y,z,x,r),
     respectively.  The first dimension of the result always has length 6.

     The internal coordinates are what Drat uses internally to

     describe the ray.  The coordinate system is rotated about the
     z-axis until the ray lies in a plane of constant y (there are at
     least two ways to do this).  The point (x,y,z) can be any point on

     the ray, and r=sqrt(x^2+y^2) is the corresponding cylindrical radius.
     The clockwise angle theta from the +z-axis to the ray direction

     (which always lies in the zx-plane) determines cos=cos(theta) and

     sin=sin(theta).


     As a specification of a ray, this system is triply redundant because
     the point (x,y,z) could be any point on the ray, both the sine and

     cosine of theta appear, and r=sqrt(x^2+y^2).

     However, the slimits parameter -- used to specify the points along

     a ray where the transport integration starts and stops -- is
     measured from the point (x,y,z) specified as a part of the

     (cos,sin,y,z,x,r) ray coordinate.  Thus, any change in the point
     (x,y,z) on a ray must be accompanied by a corresponding change in
     the slimits for that ray.

     be present in the result.
