                                                         int[] first_atoms,

                                                         int[] second_atoms,
                                                         double[] dihedrals,
                                                         int[] third_atoms)

Takes the given Z Matrix coordinates and converts them to cartesian coordinates. The first Atom end up in the origin, the second on on the x axis, and the third one in the XY plane. The rest is added by applying the Zmatrix distances, angles and dihedrals. Angles are in degrees.

Parameters:

distances - Array of distance variables of the Z matrix

angles - Array of angle variables of the Z matrix

dihedrals - Array of distance variables of the Z matrix

first_atoms - Array of atom ids of the first invoked atom in distance, angle and dihedral

second_atoms - Array of atom ids of the second invoked atom in angle and dihedral

third_atoms - Array of atom ids of the third invoked atom in dihedral
