interEllip(AngleLower, AngleUpper, lambda)

Arguments

• AngleLower: The lower limit of leaf angle intervals in degree.
• AngleUpper: The upper limit of leaf angle intervals in degree.
• lambda: The parameter of ellipsoidal function.

Returns

Compute the fraction leaf area of ellipsoidal function.

Examples
