Right now, the Spherical transform documented here:
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/plot/plot3d/plot3d.html#sage.plot.plot3d.plot3d.Spherical
only allows specifying an inclination angle. Some applications (like
lattitude and longitude) deal with the elevation angle. It would be great
if the spherical transform allowed one to either use 'inclination' or
'elevation' to represent the angle out of the xy plane. See
