% Eccentric anomaly for an ellipse.
Computed from the mean anomaly and the eccentricity. The user can optionally
specify a tolerance and maximum number of iterations.
For a demo plot call M2EEl( ecc ).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
eccAnom = M2EEl( ecc, meanAnom, tol, nMax ) or
eccAnom = M2EEl( ecc, meanAnom, tol ) or
eccAnom = M2EEl( ecc, meanAnom)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
ecc (1,:) Eccentricity
meanAnom (1,:) Mean anomaly
tol (1,1) Tolerance(optional, default is 1e-8)
nMax (1,1) Maximum number of iterations
(optional, default is no maximum. Can
only be input if tol is also specified.)

Outputs

eccAnom (1,:) Eccentric anomaly
