GeodeticsTransformer Get ( ) #

Returns a pointer to the existing geodetics instance.

Return value

Pointer to the existing geodetics transformer instance. If GeodeticsPlugin is not launched, nullptr is returned.

dmat4 GeodeticToWorld ( dvec3 geo_coords, bool rotate_to_en ) #

Transforms geodetic coordinates of the selected coordinate system to the 3D world coordinates: position and rotation (the Y axis is directed to the North, the X axis — to the East, and the Z axis — upwards).

Arguments

• dvec3 geo_coords - Geodetic coordinates (lat,lon,alt).
• bool rotate_to_en - true to rotate data as follows: East => X, North => Y (ENU and similar systems); false if the data source uses another alignment (for example NED).

Return value

World position and orientation.

dvec3 WorldToGeodetic ( dvec3 world_pos, bool rotate_to_en ) #

Transforms the 3D world coordinates to geodetic coordinates of the selected coordinate system.

Arguments

• dvec3 world_pos - World position.
• bool rotate_to_en - true to rotate data as follows: East => X, North => Y (ENU and similar systems); false if the data source uses another alignment (for example NED).

Return value

Geodetic coordinates (lat,lon,alt).

int SetProjectionWkt ( string projection_cs_wkt_string, dvec3 world_origin_geo_coords, string geodetic_cs_string, int geodetic_cs_is_well_known ) #

Sets a projection by WKT description, which is used as the world coordinate projection, and defines a geodetic coordinate system.

Arguments

• string projection_cs_wkt_string - Description of the projection in the OpenGIS WKT format.
• dvec3 world_origin_geo_coords - World origin in geodetic coordinates (lat,lon,alt).
• string geodetic_cs_string - Description of a geodetic coordinate system.
• int geodetic_cs_is_well_known - 1 or 0.

  If set to 1, a well-known coordinate system description is used as the geodetic_cs_string argument.

  The following well-known text values are supported:

  • WGS84 — same as EPSG:4326, but has no dependence on EPSG data files.
  • WGS72 — same as EPSG:4322, but has no dependence on EPSG data files.
  • NAD27 — same as EPSG:4267, but has no dependence on EPSG data files.
  • NAD83 — same as EPSG:4269, but has no dependence on EPSG data files.
  • EPSG:n — n is a GCS code from the horizontal coordinate system table.

  If set to 0, a detailed WKT description is used.

Return value

1 on success; otherwise, 0.

int SetProjectionEpsg ( int projection_cs_epsg_code, dvec3 world_origin_geo_coords, string geodetic_cs_string, int geodetic_cs_is_well_known ) #

Sets a projection by EPSG code, which is used as the world coordinate projection, and defines a geodetic coordinate system.

Arguments

• int projection_cs_epsg_code - EPSG code of the projection.
• dvec3 world_origin_geo_coords - World origin in geodetic coordinates (lat,lon,alt).
• string geodetic_cs_string - Description of a geodetic coordinate system.
• int geodetic_cs_is_well_known - 1 or 0.

  If set to 1, a well-known coordinate system description is used as the geodetic_cs_string argument.

  The following well-known text values are supported:

  • WGS84 — same as EPSG:4326, but has no dependence on EPSG data files.
  • WGS72 — same as EPSG:4322, but has no dependence on EPSG data files.
  • NAD27 — same as EPSG:4267, but has no dependence on EPSG data files.
  • NAD83 — same as EPSG:4269, but has no dependence on EPSG data files.
  • EPSG:n — n is a GCS code from the horizontal coordinate system table.

  If set to 0, a detailed WKT description is used.

Return value

1 on success; otherwise, 0.
