9// Class AliPosition
10// Handling of positions in various reference frames.
11//
12// This class is meant to serve as a base class for ALICE objects
13// that have a unique position in 3-dimensional space.
14//
15// Note :
16// ------
17// Positions (r) and reference frames (f) are specified via
18// SetPosition(Float_t* r,TString f) under the following conventions :
19//
20// f="car" ==> r in Cartesian coordinates (x,y,z)
21// f="sph" ==> r in Spherical coordinates (r,theta,phi)
22// f="cyl" ==> r in Cylindrical coordinates (rho,phi,z)
23//
24// All angles are in radians.
25//
26// Example :
27// ---------
28//
29// AliPosition q;
30// Float_t pos[3]={-1,25,7};
31// q.SetPosition(pos,"car");
32// Float_t loc[3];
33// q.GetPosition(loc,"sph");
34//
