// Class AliPosition
// Handling of positions in various reference frames.
//
// This class is meant to serve as a base class for ALICE objects
// that have a unique position in 3-dimensional space.
//
// Note :
// ------
// Positions (r) and reference frames (f) are specified via
// SetPosition(Float_t* r,TString f) under the following conventions :
//
// f="car" ==> r in Cartesian coordinates   (x,y,z)
// f="sph" ==> r in Spherical coordinates   (r,theta,phi)
// f="cyl" ==> r in Cylindrical coordinates (rho,phi,z)
//
// All angles are in radians.
//
// Example :
// ---------
//
// AliPosition q;
// Float_t pos[3]={-1,25,7};
// q.SetPosition(pos,"car");
// Float_t loc[3];
// q.GetPosition(loc,"sph");
