A vector version of this image is also available, and should be used in place of this raster image whenever possible. Note: this file will not be deleted for this reason, unless it is explicitly nominated for deletion. Deleting this image might break the “attribution path” for the new SVG image, which breaks licenses such as the GFDL.

There is also information about MediaWiki's support of SVG images.

This drawing shows the relationship between descriptions of a vector in the cartesian (x,y,z), cylindrical (ρ,φ,z), and spherical (r,θ,φ) coordinate systems. The symbols used here follow the convention in physics, which differs from that used commonly in mathematics textbooks.
