Workspace Method rte_posSet

Description

Sets rte_pos to the given co-ordinates.

The longitude is ignored for 1D and 2D, and the latitude is also 
ignored for 1D.

The argument *r_or_z* can either be a radius, or an altitude
above the geoid. In the latter case, a function such as
*rte_posAddGeoidWGS84* could be called to obtain a radius as
first element of rte_pos.
