## @deftypefn {Function File} {@var{beta} =} parametricLatitude (@var{phi}, @var{flattening})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{beta} =} parametricLatitude (@var{phi}, @var{flattening}, @var{angleUnit})
## Returns parametric latitude given geodetic latitude (phi) and flattening.
##
## The parametric latitude @var{beta} is also known as a reduced latitude.
## The default input and output is in degrees; use optional third parameter
## @var{angleUnit} for radians. @var{phi} 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
## beta = parametricLatitude (45, 0.0033528)
## => beta =
## 44.904
## @end example
##
## Also can use radians:
## @example
## beta = parametricLatitude (pi/4, 0.0033528, "radians")
## => beta =
## 0.78372
## @end example
##
## Vector Input:
## @example
## phi = 35:5:45;
## beta = parametricLatitude (phi, 0.0033528)
## => beta =
## 34.91 39.905 44.904
## @end example
## @seealso{geocentricLatitude , geodeticLatitudeFromGeocentric , geodeticLatitudeFromParametric}
## @end deftypefn
