Variables:

Name	Description
ORIGIN_BASIS_ENU = 1	The origin basis East - North - Up (Earth-Centric) is used for the GeodeticPivot object. It is used to place the pivot to the world ECF position with ENU orientation according to latitude / longitude / altitude. The position of the GeodeticPivot object is blocked when this basis is used. Notice The Up-axis (Z+) direction in ENU points upward along the ellipsoid normal, while in UNIGINE implementation of ENU it goes from the Earth's center.
ORIGIN_BASIS_LOCAL = 0	The local (X - Y - Z) origin basis is used for the GeodeticPivot object. The pivot doesn't bind to geo-coordinates and can be placed anywhere.

Name

Description

ORIGIN_BASIS_ENU = 1

The origin basis East - North - Up (Earth-Centric) is used for the GeodeticPivot object. It is used to place the pivot to the world ECF position with ENU orientation according to latitude / longitude / altitude. The position of the GeodeticPivot object is blocked when this basis is used.

NoticeThe Up-axis (Z+) direction in ENU points upward along the ellipsoid normal, while in UNIGINE implementation of ENU it goes from the Earth's center.

ORIGIN_BASIS_LOCAL = 0

The local (X - Y - Z) origin basis is used for the GeodeticPivot object. The pivot doesn't bind to geo-coordinates and can be placed anywhere.

GeodeticPivot Class

Members

static GeodeticPivotPtr create ( ) #

GeodeticPivot constructor. Creates a GeodeticPivot instance with the default settings:

The origin is set to dvec3(0.0,0.0,0.0).
The size of the curving region is 2048000×2048000 km.
The resolution of the region texture is 2048.

void setEllipsoid ( const Ptr<Ellipsoid> & ellipsoid ) #

Sets an Ellipsoid to be used for the Geodetic Pivot.

NoticeModifying the ellipsoid of the Geodetic Pivot directly makes the pivot's state inconsistent. You should force the GeodeticPivot node to update its internal state according to the modified ellipsoid by setting it via the setEllipsoid() method.

Source code (C++)

// Creating a new geodetic pivot
GeodeticPivotPtr pivot = GeodeticPivot::create();

// setting the local (X - Y - Z) origin basis for it
pivot->setOriginBasis(GeodeticPivot::ORIGIN_BASIS_LOCAL);

// getting an ellipsoid currently used by the geodetic pivot
EllipsoidPtr ellipsoid = pivot->getEllipsoid();

// setting a fast calculation mode for the ellipsoid
ellipsoid->setMode(Ellipsoid::MODE_FAST);

// setting a new semimajor axis for the ellipsoid
ellipsoid->setSemimajorAxis(6378137.0f - 500.0f);

/* ... */

// force updating the geodetic pivot according to the modified ellipsoid
pivot->setEllipsoid(ellipsoid);

Arguments

const Ptr<Ellipsoid> & ellipsoid - Ellipsoid to be set.

Ptr<Ellipsoid> getEllipsoid ( ) #

Returns the Ellipsoid currently used by the Geodetic Pivot.

Notice

Modifying the ellipsoid of the Geodetic Pivot directly makes the pivot's state inconsistent. You should force the GeodeticPivot node to update its internal state according to the modified ellipsoid by setting it via the setEllipsoid() method.

Source code (C++)

// Creating a new geodetic pivot
GeodeticPivotPtr pivot = GeodeticPivot::create();

// setting the local (X - Y - Z) origin basis for it
pivot->setOriginBasis(GeodeticPivot::ORIGIN_BASIS_LOCAL);

// getting an ellipsoid currently used by the geodetic pivot
EllipsoidPtr ellipsoid = pivot->getEllipsoid();

// setting a fast calculation mode for the ellipsoid
ellipsoid->setMode(Ellipsoid::MODE_FAST);

// setting a new semimajor axis for the ellipsoid
ellipsoid->setSemimajorAxis(6378137.0f - 500.0f);

/* ... */

// force updating the geodetic pivot according to the modified ellipsoid
pivot->setEllipsoid(ellipsoid);

Return value

Ellipsoid currently used by the Geodetic Pivot.

void setOrigin ( const Math::dvec3 & origin ) #

Sets a new position (latitude, longitude and altitude) on the ellipsoid.

Source code (C++)

// the GeodeticPivot will use WGS84 reference ellipsoid by default
GeodeticPivotPtr pivot = GeodeticPivot::create();
// update the origin
dvec3 new_york_origin = dvec3(40.71427,-74.00597,57.0);
pivot->setOrigin(new_york_origin);
ObjectMeshStaticPtr flat_new_york_ground = ObjectMeshStatic::create("flat_new_york_ground.mesh");
pivot->addChild(flat_new_york_ground); // the mesh will be bent once ObjectMeshStatic become a child of GeodeticPivot

Notice
The Up-axis (Z+) direction in ENU points upward along the ellipsoid normal, while in UNIGINE implementation of ENU it goes from the Earth's center.

Arguments

int basis - One of the ORIGIN_BASIS_* variables.

int getOriginBasis ( ) #
