## @deftypefn {Function File} {@var{phi} =} geodeticLatitudeFromGeocentric (@var{psi}, @var{flattening})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{phi} =} geodeticLatitudeFromGeocentric (@var{psi}, @var{flattening}, @var{angleUnit})
## Return geodetic latitude (phi) given geocentric latitude (psi) and flattening.
##
## The default input and output is in degrees; use optional third parameter
## @var{angleUnit} for radians. @var{psi} can be a scalar, vector, matrix or
## any ND array. @var{flattening} must be a scalar value in the interval
## [0..1).
##
## Examples
## Scalar input:
## @example
## phi = geodeticLatitudeFromGeocentric (45, 0.0033528)
## => phi =
## 45.192
## @end example
##
## Also can use radians:
## @example
## phi = geodeticLatitudeFromGeocentric (pi/4, 0.0033528, "radians")
## => phi =
## 0.78876
## @end example
##
## Vector Input:
## @example
## psi = 35:5:45;
## phi = geodeticLatitudeFromGeocentric (psi, 0.0033528)
## => phi =
## 35.181 40.19 45.192
## @end example
##
## @seealso{geocentricLatitude, geodeticLatitudeFromGeocentric, parametricLatitude}
## @end deftypefn
