*  Name:
*     palGeoc

*  Purpose:
*     Convert geodetic position to geocentric

*  Language:
*     Starlink ANSI C

*  Type of Module:
*     Library routine

*  Invocation:
*     void palGeoc( double p, double h, double * r, double *z );

*  Arguments:
*     p = double (Given)
*       latitude (radians)
*     h = double (Given)
*       height above reference spheroid (geodetic, metres)
*     r = double * (Returned)
*       distance from Earth axis (AU)
*     z = double * (Returned)
*       distance from plane of Earth equator (AU)

*  Description:
*     Convert geodetic position to geocentric.

*  Authors:
*     PTW: Patrick T. Wallace
*     TIMJ: Tim Jenness (JAC, Hawaii)
*     {enter_new_authors_here}

*  Notes:
*     - Geocentric latitude can be obtained by evaluating atan2(z,r)
*     - Uses WGS84 reference ellipsoid and calls eraGd2gc

*  History:
*     2012-03-01 (TIMJ):
*        Initial version moved from palOne2One
*        Adapted with permission from the Fortran SLALIB library.
