I think I see reference to spher3D in various places but am not certain the extent to which spherical coords are fully supported.  Also, I see no mention to cylindrical coordinates.  So, I am asking for guidance about just what is the breadth of common 3D coordinate system support.  Can you please let me know?

I believe that for anything nontrivial, only 3D Cartesian coordinates can be used.
