Calculates the great circle azimuth from a point 1 to a point 2. The latitude and longitude of these two points can either be given independently or as columns of the matrices pt1 and pt2 in the form [latitude longitude].
The units for the input coordinates and output angles can be "degrees" (the default) or "radians".
>> azimuth([10,10], [10,40]) ans = 87.336 >> azimuth([0,10], [0,40]) ans = 90 >> azimuth(pi/4,0,pi/4,-pi/2,"radians") ans = 5.3279
