function xb = xb_consolidate(xb, varargin)
%XB_CONSOLIDATE  Consolidates parameters in XBeach structure in the last dimension of its value
%
%   Checks whether values in a XBeach structure are constant along the last
%   dimension. If true, it eliminates this dimension. Vectors become
%   scalars 2D matrices become vectors, etc. Cell arrays are not
%   consolidated. Returns the consolidated XBeach structure.
%
%   Syntax:
%   xb = xb_consolidate(xb, varargin)
%
%   Input:
%   xb          = XBeach structure array
%   varargin    = none
%
%   Output:
%   xb  = XBeach structure array
%
%   Example
%   xb = xb_consolidate(xb)
