Parameters

centralBody

Type: AGI.Foundation.CelestialCentralBody
The central body to compute the sector on.

center

Type: AGI.Foundation.CoordinatesCartesian
The center of the sector, in the centralBody's fixed reference frame.

innerRadius

Type: SystemDouble
The inner radius of the sector, in meters.

outerRadius

Type: SystemDouble
The outer radius of the sector, in meters.

startBearing

Type: SystemDouble
An angle, in radians, measured clockwise from north indicating the start bearing for the sector.

endBearing

Type: SystemDouble
An angle, in radians, measured clockwise from north indicating the end bearing for the sector.

granularity

Type: SystemDouble
The angular separation, in radians, of positions along the boundary.

Return Value

For most inputs, a sector looks like a slice of a flattened donut. innerRadius and outerRadius are distances from center that define the length of the sector. innerRadius and outerRadius are angles from north that define the angular width of the sector.

The computed positions are at the same altitude as the input center.

Lower granularities are more precise but result in more positions.
