math problem: transform polar co-ordinates wrt new origin
Hi all,
This is more maths than Max, but I thought here would be a good place to ask.
If a point has co-ordinates (r, theta) with respect to one point in space, how do I work out its co-ordinates with respect to another, known, location?
It's a spacialisation thing.
TIA

Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.
Do yo mean like this?
That will do nicely, thank you.
(just couldn't get my brain around it)

Funny i thought about this problem a while yesterday and came to somewhat the same thought that it should be fairly easy when you are in the cartesian system. But i felt stupid telling you this, because i thought there must be some way to do it without the conversion.
Is there a way to do that?
