galpy.util.coords.uv_to_Rz(u, v, delta=1.0, oblate=False)

NAME:

uv_to_Rz

PURPOSE:

calculate R and z from prolate confocal u and v coordinates

INPUT:

u - confocal u

v - confocal v

delta= focus

oblate= (False) if True, compute oblate confocal coordinates instead of prolate

OUTPUT:

(R,z)

HISTORY:

2012-11-27 - Written - Bovy (IAS)

2017-10-11 - Added oblate coordinates - Bovy (UofT)
