## Compute the coordinates of the end-point of a displacement on a geodesic.
## @var{lat}, @var{lon} are the coordinates of the starting point, @var{range}
## is the covered distance of the displacements along a specified geodesic and
## @var{azi} is the direction of the displacement relative to the North.
## The units of all input and output parameters must be 'radians' and/or the
## length unit of @var{range} should match that of the used ellipsoid.
##
## The possible values for @var{dim} are 'angle' (default) or 'length'.
##
## Sample values for @var{ellipsoid} are the following:
