Bug description

Full_Name: Claude Marche Version: all OS: linux Submission from: pc9-154.lri.fr (129.175.9.154)

There are IEEE floating point functions for conversion from cartesian to polar coordinates.

However, it is sad that in OCaml only the 'atan2' function is available, not 'hypot'

hypot() is not in ANSI C. Not portable enough.
