function [x, y, z, M] = loccart_fwd(lat0, lon0, h0, lat, lon, h, ellipsoid)
%LOCCART_FWD  Convert geographic to local cartesian coordinates
%
%   [x, y, z] = LOCCART_FWD(lat0, lon0, h0, lat, lon)
%   [x, y, z] = LOCCART_FWD(lat0, lon0, h0, lat, lon, h)
%   [x, y, z, M] = LOCCART_FWD(lat0, lon0, h0, lat, lon, h, ellipsoid)
%
%   converts from geodetic coordinates, lat, lon, h to local cartesian
%   coordinates, x, y, z, centered at lat0, lon0, h0.  Latitudes and
%   longitudes are in degrees; h (default 0), h0, x, y, z are in meters.
%   lat, lon, h can be scalars or arrays of equal size.  lat0, lon0, h0
%   must be scalars.  The ellipsoid vector is of the form [a, e], where a
%   is the equatorial radius in meters, e is the eccentricity.  If
%   ellipsoid is omitted, the WGS84 ellipsoid (more precisely, the value
%   returned by defaultellipsoid) is used.  The inverse operation is given
%   by loccart_inv.
%
%   M is the 3 x 3 rotation matrix for the conversion.  Pre-multiplying a
%   unit vector in local cartesian coordinates at (lat, lon, h) by M
%   transforms the vector to local cartesian coordinates at (lat0, lon0,
%   h0).
