Instance Attribute Details

#axis_unit ⇒ Object (readonly)

Returns the LinearUnit. The units of the semi-major and semi-minor axis values.

def axis_unit
  @axis_unit
end

#inverse_flattening ⇒ Object (readonly)

Returns the value of the inverse of the flattening constant. The inverse flattening is related to the equatorial/polar radius by the formula ivf=re/(re-rp). For perfect spheres, this formula breaks down, and a special IVF value of zero is used.

def inverse_flattening
  @inverse_flattening
end

#ivf_definitive ⇒ Object (readonly)

Is the Inverse Flattening definitive for this ellipsoid? Some ellipsoids use the IVF as the defining value, and calculate the polar radius whenever asked. Other ellipsoids use the polar radius to calculate the IVF whenever asked. This distinction can be important to avoid floating-point rounding errors.

Class Method Details

.create(name_, semi_major_axis_, semi_minor_axis_, inverse_flattening_, ivf_definitive_, linear_unit_, *optional_) ⇒ Object

Create an Ellipsoid given a name, semi-major and semi-minor axes, the inverse flattening, a boolean indicating whether the inverse flattening is definitive, and the LinearUnit indicating the axis units. The LinearUnit is optional and may be set to nil. You may also provide the optional parameters specified by the Info interface.

end

.create_ellipsoid(name_, semi_major_axis_, semi_minor_axis_, linear_unit_, *optional_) ⇒ Object

Create an Ellipsoid given a name, semi-major and semi-minor axes, and the LinearUnit indicating the axis units. In the resulting ellipsoid, the inverse flattening is not definitive. The LinearUnit is optional and may be set to nil. You may also provide the optional parameters specified by the Info interface.

end

.create_flattened_sphere(name_, semi_major_axis_, inverse_flattening_, linear_unit_, *optional_) ⇒ Object

Create an Ellipsoid given a name, semi-major axis, inverse flattening, and the LinearUnit indicating the axis units. In the resulting ellipsoid, the inverse flattening is definitive. The LinearUnit is optional and may be set to nil. You may also provide the optional parameters specified by the Info interface.
