[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #8377] Added new 3D Coordinate system conversion functions for Geodesy in Mapping toolbox

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #20, patch #8377 (project octave):

Michael Hirsch continued from Felipe's code
https://github.com/scivision/matmap3d

There are test cases and additional information, which could be converted to
Octave style:

I did this for aer2enu
++
help aer2enu
 -- Function File: E, N, U = aer2enu (AZ, EL, SLANTRANGE, ANGLEUNIT)
     converts azimuth, elevation, range to ENU coordinates 
Inputs 
----
az, el, slantrange: look angles and distance to point under test(degrees,
degrees, meters) 
az: azimuth clockwise from local north
el: elevation angle above local horizon 
angleUnit: string for angular units.  Default 'd': degrees
Outputs 
----- 
e,n,u: East, North, Up coordinates of test points (meters)
Example:
          [e, n, u] = aer2enu (33, 70, 1e3)
          e =  186.28
          n =  286.84
          u =  939.69
With radians
          [e, n, u] = aer2enu (pi/4, pi/3,1e3, "radians")
          e =  353.55
          n =  353.55
          u =  866.03

Additional help for built-in functions and operators is
available in the online version of the manual.  Use the command
'doc <topic>' to search the manual index.

Help and information about Octave is also available on the WWW
at http://www.octave.org and via the address@hidden
mailing list.

I also added more checks

++
>> test aer2enu
PASSES 7 out of 7 tests

have not attached the file. If I am not violating anything I will attach it.
