[OpenMadrigal-developers] Calling Madrigal methods to support GPS

[William Rideout]

John Foster has asked me to make some changes in mapping GPS data that can 
easily be done using methods that are available via Madrigal.  In particular, I 
need a Matlab interface into madCalculator, the web page which generalizes John 
Holt's looker page.  This method calculates any derivable Madrigal parameter for 
an array of latitudes, longitudes, and altitudes.

I plan to expose this functionality from Madrigal in the way I have done 
everything recently:

1.  As a command line method (python)
2.  As a web service (aka a cgi script that calls the above script)
3.  As Matlab methods that run either locally or via the web, using 1 or 2 above.

Shunrong had commented early that he would like a simplier method for a single 
point in space and time, and one for only a point in time for parameters like Kp 
that don't vary spatially.  I'll do this, but they'll just call this one 
script/web service under the covers.
