Check if point lies within a spheroid

Description

Function that checks for each X-Y-coordinate pair, whether the point lies in a spheroid of a given center, radius and height. Works with single numbers or matrices of X- and Y-coordinates as input.

Usage

in_spheroid(Xcor, Ycor, Zcor, Xctr, Yctr, Zctr, radius, height)

Arguments

Xcor	X-coordinate of the point
Ycor	Y-coordinate of the point
Zcor	Z-coordinate of the point
Xctr	X-coordinate of the center
Yctr	Y-coordinate of the center
Zctr	Z-coordinate of the center
radius	...of the equator plain of the spheroid
height	...of the vertical axis of the spheroid

Value

boolean or matrix of booleans
