SPH2HORPOLAR - from spherical to horizontal-polar coordinate system

Program code:

function [lat,pol]=sph2horpolar(azi,ele)
%   SPH2HORPOLAR from spherical to horizontal-polar coordinate system
%
%   Usage:    [lat,pol] = sph2horpolar(azi,ele)
%
%   Input parameters:
%     azi     : azimuth in deg
%     ele     : elevation in deg
%
%   Output parameters:
%     lat     : lateral angle in deg, [-90°,+90°]
%     pol     : polar angle in deg, [-90°,270°]
%
%   geo2horpolar(...) converts spherical coordinates (azimuth and 
%   elevation) into the coordinates of the horizontal-polar system, i.e.,
%   lateral and polar angles.
