% create the surface and tetrahedral mesh of an ellipsoid
%
% author: Qianqian Fang, <q.fang at neu.edu>
%
% input: 
%   c0:  center coordinates (x0,y0,z0) of the ellipsoid
%   rr:  radii of an ellipsoid, 
%        if rr is a scalar, this is a sphere with radius rr
%        if rr is a 1x3 or 3x1 vector, it specifies the ellipsoid radii [a,b,c]
%        if rr is a 1x5 or 5x1 vector, it specifies [a,b,c,theta,phi]
%           where theta and phi are the rotation angles along z and x 
%           axes, respectively. Rotation is applied before translation.
%   tsize: maximum surface triangle size on the sphere
%   maxvol: maximu volume of the tetrahedral elements
%
% output:
%   node: node coordinates, 3 columns for x, y and z respectively
%   face: integer array with dimensions of NB x 3, each row represents
%         a surface mesh face element 
%   elem: integer array with dimensions of NE x 4, each row represents
%         a tetrahedron; if ignored, only produces the surface
%
% example:
%   [node,face,elem]=meshanellip([10,10,-10],[30,20,10,pi/4,pi/4],0.5,0.4);
%   plotmesh(node,elem,'x>10');axis equal;
