The SetCoordinates(v, c) calling sequence sets the coordinate attribute on the Vector v.

Important: The SetCoordinates command does not convert a Vector to a new coordinate system. It simply changes the coordinate system attribute. To convert a Vector to a new coordinate system, use the MapToBasis command.

The SetCoordinates(c) calling sequence sets the default coordinate system to c.

If c is given only as a name, default coordinate names are used for the display (only) of Vectors.

To be able to create a vector field using the default coordinate system, you must provide names for the coordinates in the index to the coordinate system specification c of the SetCoordinates call. See the Examples section.

The coordinate systems recognized by the Student[VectorCalculus] package are described in Coordinates.
