axes2ecc - Eccentricity of ellipse with given axis lengths
Syntax
eccentricity = axes2ecc(semimajor,semiminor)
eccentricity = axes2ecc(axes)
Description
Eccentricity, the second element of the standard Mapping Toolbox ellipsoid
vector, can be determined given both the semimajor and semiminor axes.
eccentricity = axes2ecc(semimajor,semiminor) returns
the eccentricity associated with the input axes.
eccentricity = axes2ecc(axes) allows
the axes inputs to be packed into a single two-column input of the
form [semimajor, semiminor].
Examples
Using the axes for the default GRS 80 Earth model,
ecc = axes2ecc(6378.1370,6356.7523)
ecc =
0.08181921804834
This is the eccentricity returned by almanac('earth','ellipsoid').
