EllipsoidRhumbLine Constructor (Ellipsoid, Cartographic, Double, Double)

Initializes a rhumb line (a line of constant heading) on the ellipsoid starting at the provided planetodetic point which has the indicated heading at that point and ends at a point located at the provided distance from the starting point.

Parameters

ellipsoid: Type: AGI.Foundation.Geometry.ShapesEllipsoid
The ellipsoid on which the rhumb line lies.
initial: Type: AGI.Foundation.CoordinatesCartographic
The initial planetodetic point on the path. The InitialPoint will be on the ellipsoid surface at this location.
heading: Type: SystemDouble
The heading at the initial point.
distance: Type: SystemDouble
The distance along the rhumb line to the location of the final point.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	Thrown when ellipsoid is .
UnsupportedCaseException	The scalene case of a rhumb line is not currently modeled and will be in a future release.
