ecc2flat - Flattening of ellipse with given eccentricity
Syntax
flattening = ecc2flat(eccentricity)
Description
flattening = ecc2flat(eccentricity) returns
the equivalent flattening for the input eccentricities. If the input, eccentricity,
is a two-column vector, only the second column is used. This allows
the standard two-element ellipsoid vectors to be used as rows of the
input, because the second element of these vectors is the eccentricity.
In all other cases, all columns of the input are used.
Flattening and eccentricity are two methods of defining an ellipsoid.
Example
flattening = ecc2flat(almanac('earth','ellipsoid'))
flattening =
