#### Brief_I/O
       VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
       --------  ---  -------------------------------------------------
       r          I   Distance of a point from z axis.
       lon        I   Angle (radians) of a point from xZ plane
       z          I   Height of a point above xY plane.
       rectan     O   Rectangular coordinates of the point.
#### Detailed_Input
       r          Distance of the point of interest from z axis.

       lon        Cylindrical angle (in radians) of the point of
                  interest from XZ plane.

       z          Height of the point above XY plane.
#### Detailed_Output
       rectan     Rectangular coordinates of the point of interest.
#### Parameters
       None.
#### Exceptions
       Error free.
#### Files
       None.
#### Particulars
       This routine transforms the coordinates of a point from
       cylindrical to rectangular coordinates.
#### Examples
       Below are two tables.

       Listed in the first table (under r, lon and z ) are
       cylindrical coordinate triples that approximately represent
       points whose rectangular coordinates are taken from the set
       {-1, 0, 1}.  (Angular quantities are given in degrees.)

       The result of the code fragment

            Use the CSPICE routine convrt_c to convert the angular
            quantities to radians

            convrt_c (  lon, "DEGREES", "RADIANS", lon );

            cylrec_c ( r, lon, z, x );

       are listed in the second parallel table under x(1), x(2) and x(3).

         r         lon     z            x(1)       x(2)     x(3)
