## @deftypefn {Function File} {} {@var{ecc} =} axes2ecc (@var{semimajor}, @var{semiminor})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} {@var{ecc} =} axes2ecc (@var{axes})
## Calculates the eccentricity from semimajor and semiminor axes.
##
## @var{semimajor} and @var{semiminor} are scalars or vectors of
## semimajor and semiminor axes, resp. Alternatively, they can also be
## supplied as coordinate (row) vectors or a N2 matrix with each row
## consisting of a (semimajor, semiminor) pair.
##
## Output arg @var{ecc} is a scalar or column vector of eccentricities.
##
## Examples:
##
## Scalar input:
## @example
## format long
## axes2ecc (6378137, 6356752.314245)
## => 0.0818191908429654
## @end example
##
## Row vector (semimajor, semiminor):
## @example
## axes2ecc ([6378137, 6356752.314245])
## => 0.0818191908429654
## @end example
##
## Multivectors:
## @example
## axes2ecc ([ 71492, 66854; ...
## 6378137, 6356752.314245])
## ans =
## 0.3543163789650412
