Unigine::Ellipsoid Class

Header: #include <UnigineEllipsoid.h>

Notice
The Ellipsoid class is available only in the Engineering and Sim versions of UNIGINE SDK.

The Ellipsoid class handles the geodetic transformations:

  • Specifies the Ellipsoid settings: semimajor axis, flattening coefficient
  • Performs systems coordinates (ECF, ENU, NED, Geodetic) conversion
  • Solves direct and inverse geodetic problems with different calculation mode (Great Circle and Vincenty algorithms)

This class is used to create an Ellipsoid instance to the GeodeticPivot class.

Here is a code snippet of the Ellipsoid class usage:

Source code (C++)
#include "UnigineMathLib.h"
#include "UnigineGeodetics.h"
#include "UnigineEllipsoid.h"

using namespace Unigine;
using namespace Unigine::Math;

/* ... */

// define the geodetic origin
dvec3 tomsk_origin = dvec3(58.49771, 84.97437, 117.0);

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

// create a new ellipsoid and specify its settings
EllipsoidPtr ellipsoid = pivot->getEllipsoid();
ellipsoid->setSemimajorAxis(80000.0f);
ellipsoid->setMode(Ellipsoid::MODE_FAST);

// set the ellipsoid to the pivot
pivot->setOrigin(tomsk_origin);
pivot->setEllipsoid(ellipsoid);
