Description
As pointed out on
http://ask.sagemath.org/question/220/new-project-looking-for-help
the doctests for this function:
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/plot/plot3d/plot3d.html#sage.plot.plot3d.plot3d.Spherical
say:
"We can plot with this transform. Remember that the independent variable is the radius, and the dependent variables are the azimuth and the inclination (in that order):"
But it should read:
"We can plot with this transform. Remember that the dependent variable is the radius, and the independent variables are the azimuth and the inclination (in that order):"

fix documentation error in Spherical and Cylindrical

The same problem occurs in the docs for http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/plot/plot3d/plot3d.html#sage.plot.plot3d.plot3d.Cylindrical
