: chi = geo2con (phi)

: chi = geo2con (phi, spheroid)

: chi = geo2con (phi, spheroid, angleUnit)

Returns the conformal latitude given geodetic latitude phi

Input

• phi: the geodetic latitude

• (optional) spheroid: referenceEllipsoid name, EPSG number, or parameter struct: the deualt is wgs84.
• (optional) angleUnit: string for angular units (’degrees’ or ’radians’, case-insensitive, just the first charachter will do). Default is ’degrees’.

Output

• chi: the conformal latitude

Example

geo2con(45)
ans =  44.808
