<h1 class='module'>Gradient Vector from Cartesian to Polar Coordinates</h1>
<div class='author'>Victor Olaya & Volker Wichmann (c) 2004-2010</div>
<div class='description'>Converts gradient vector from directional components (Cartesian) to polar coordinates (direction or aspect angle and length or tangens of slope).<br/>
The module supports three conventions on how to measure and output the angle of direction:<br/>
(a) mathematical: direction angle is zero in East direction and the angle increases counterclockwise<br/>
(b) geographical: direction angle is zero in North direction and the angle increases clockwise<br/>
(c) zero direction and orientation are user defined<br/>
