% Converts geodetic latitude and longitude to r for an ellipsoidal planet.
The default for f is the flattening factor for the earth. The default
for type is geodetic.
Type LatLonToR for a demo.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
r = LatLonToR( lat, lon, f, a, type )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
lat (:) Geodetic latitude (rad)
lon (:) Longitude (rad)
f (1,1) Flattening factor
a (1,1) Equatorial radius
type (1,:) 'geodetic' or 'geocentric'
-------
Outputs
-------
r (3,:) Position vectors
