function [Az, El, D] = topocent(X, dx)
% TOPOCENT  Transformation of vector dx into topocentric coordinate
%          system with origin at X.
%          Both parameters are 3 by 1 vectors.
%
% [Az, El, D] = topocent(X, dx);
%
%   Inputs:
%       X           - vector origin corrdinates (in ECEF system [X; Y; Z;])
%       dx          - vector ([dX; dY; dZ;]).
%
%   Outputs:
%       D           - vector length. Units like units of the input
%       Az          - azimuth from north positive clockwise, degrees
%       El          - elevation angle, degrees
