Unigine::Ellipsoid Class
| Header: | #include <UnigineEllipsoid.h> |
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);Ellipsoid Class
