#### Procedure
       void reclat_c ( ConstSpiceDouble    rectan[3],
                       SpiceDouble       * radius,
                       SpiceDouble       * longitude,
                       SpiceDouble       * latitude  )
#### Abstract
       Convert from rectangular coordinates to latitudinal coordinates.
#### Required_Reading
       None.

#### Brief_I/O
       VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
       --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
       rectan     I   Rectangular coordinates of a point.
       radius     O   Distance of the point from the origin.
       longitude  O   Longitude of the point in radians.
       latitude   O   Latitude of the point in radians.
#### Detailed_Input
       rectan     The rectangular coordinates of the input point.  `rectan'
                  is a 3-vector.
#### Detailed_Output
       radius     Distance of the point from the origin.

                  The units associated with `radius' are those
                  associated with the input `rectan'.

       longitude  Longitude of the input point.  This is angle between the
                  prime meridian and the meridian containing `rectan'.  The
                  direction of increasing longitude is from the +X axis
                  towards the +Y axis.

                  Longitude is output in radians. The range of `longitude'
                  is [-pi, pi].

       latitude   Latitude of the input point.  This is the angle from
                  the XY plane of the ray from the origin through the
                  point.

                  Latitude is output in radians.  The range of `latitude'
                  is [-pi/2, pi/2].
#### Parameters
       None.
#### Exceptions
       Error free.

       1) If the X and Y components of `rectan' are both zero, the
          longitude is set to zero.

       2) If `rectan' is the zero vector, longitude and latitude are
          both set to zero.
#### Files
       None.
#### Particulars
       None.
#### Examples
       Below are two tables.

       Listed in the first table (under rectan[0], rectan[1], and
       rectan[2]) are a number of points whose rectangular coordinates are
       taken from the set {-1, 0, 1}.

       The results of the code fragment

          reclat_c ( rectan, &r, &longitude, &latitude );

          latitude  *=  dpr_c();
          longitude *=  dpr_c();

       are listed to four decimal places in the second parallel table under
       r (radius), longitude, and latitude.

       rectan[0]  rectan[1] rectan[2]    r       longitude  latitude
