## Calculates the great circle azimuth from a point 1 to a point 2.
## The latitude and longitude of these two points can either be given
## independently or as columns of the matrices @var{pt1} and @var{pt2} in
## the form [latitude longitude].
##
## The units for the input coordinates and output angles can be
## "degrees" (the default) or "radians".
##
## @example
## >> azimuth([10,10], [10,40])
## ans = 87.336
## >> azimuth([0,10], [0,40])
## ans = 90
## >> azimuth(pi/4,0,pi/4,-pi/2,"radians")
## ans = 5.3279
