Cross product in 2d and 3D

Hi
I would like to combine the distance of r and the theta in one image.
Also, I would like to do the same in 3D.
please help in easy way because I am beginner.
[x y] = meshgrid(-10:1:10,-10:1:10,-10:1:10);
r=sqrt(x.^2+y.^2);
theta=(180/pi)*atan(y./x);
figure
surf(x,y,r)
figure
surf(x,y,theta)
Regards

[x y] = meshgrid(-10:1:10,-10:1:10,-10:1:10);
r=sqrt(x.^2+y.^2);
theta=(180/pi)*atan(y./x);
surf(x,y,r)
hold on
surf(x,y,theta)
hold off
would put them in the same axes.
If you want them in two different axes, then
[x y] = meshgrid(-10:1:10,-10:1:10,-10:1:10);
r=sqrt(x.^2+y.^2);
theta=(180/pi)*atan(y./x);
subplot(2,1,1)
surf(x,y,r)
subplot(2,1,2)
surf(x,y,theta)

Hi Walter
Thanks for your help.
My question was about how can I calculate the r and theta togather in one answer not in add them in one figure?
can you help me please.

Do you mean like,
[theta, r] = cart2pol(x, y);
thanks
