[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #10021] [octave forge] (mapping) meridianfwd

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #18, patch #10021 (project octave):

> Check all the fields: No, I would like a better solution.
>If a user gave 2 things semi major axis and inverse flatting  all the maths
would work, and be unitless. The rest are just strings.
An ellipsoid struct by definition has several fields, so some checks are
needed but not for all fields. Maybe just the "defining properties" and the
rest can be corrected/augmented by paramcalc() (with a warning in that case).
Supplying a vector with just SMA and (inverse) flattening is the other option
in  __ell_chk__.m , so that's covered.

I have to dig up the exact reckon issues I hit with patch #9974 comment #14
and comment #15 - the very same issues apply here but in somewhat different
disguise.
I d/led 'vincentyDirect.m' from Alfredo Foltran's site, AFAICS it does the
same as geodeticfwd.m but maybe more solidly. Eve then it needs tests and
vectorization however.

Stay tuned.
