%% sphere_rst() maps the boundary of the unit cube to a sphere.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    The sphere is
%      x = cos ( theta ) * cos ( phi )
%      y = sin ( theta ) * cos ( phi )
%      z = sin ( phi )

%
%  Input:
%
%    real R, S, the coordinates of a point that lies on the
%    boundary of the square.
%
%    integer I, the component of the data which is to be returned.
%
%  Output:
%
%    real X, the I-th component of the data vector X, evaluated
%    at the point (R,S), which is on a corner, or edge, of the unit square.

%  Compute length of vector from ( 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 ) to ( r, s, t )
%

%  ( x - 0.5 )^2 + ( y - 0.5 )^2 + ( z - 0.5 )^2 = 0.25 that is
%  the projection of the point ( r, s, t ) on the unit cube.
