SkewDipl:

Path: SC/Attitude

% Computes the skew angle for a single dipole used to control yaw and roll. 
   The x-axis is assumed to be the roll axis and the z-axis is assumed to be 
   the yaw axis. The y-axis is along orbit anti-normal.

   Since version 1.

   Inputs
   ------
   b             (3,1) Magnetic field vector (T)
   tRoll         (1,1) Maximum roll torque   (N)
   tYaw          (1,1) Maximum yaw torque    (N)

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   theta         (1,1) Positive angle (about +y)
                       of the dipole taken from +x (deg)
   mDipole       (1,1) Dipole magnitude (ATM^2)
   m             (3,1) Dipole unit vector
