      ELL_TRACK_REDUCE_POINTS

Purpose

---

      Reduce the number of points along a track.

Category

Calling Sequence

---

      lon1 = Longitude array of points along track (deg). in

Inputs

---

      lat1 = Latitude array of points along track (deg). in

Keyword Parameters

Keywords

        DIST=dmx Max allowed distance off original track (m).
          Default = 1 meter
        INDEX=ind Return index array of input points used
          in output array.

Outputs

---

      lon2 = Selected subset of Longitude array. out
      lat2 = Selected subset of Latitude array. out

Notes

---

      Notes: Not intended for tracks over large areas of the
        globe. Converts to Transverse Mercator coordinates
        in meters and finds subset in that coordinate system.
        So track is not very limited north-south.
