EllipsoidGeodesic Constructor (Ellipsoid, Cartographic, Double, Double)

Initializes a geodesic on the ellipsoid starting at the provided point and which has the indicated heading at that point and ends at a point located at the provided distance from the starting point.

Copy

public EllipsoidGeodesic(
	Ellipsoid ellipsoid,
	Cartographic initial,
	double heading,
	double distance
)

Public Sub New ( 
	ellipsoid As Ellipsoid,

	heading As Double,
	distance As Double
)

public:
EllipsoidGeodesic(
	Ellipsoid^ ellipsoid, 
	Cartographic initial, 
	double heading, 
	double distance
)

new : 
        ellipsoid : Ellipsoid * 
        initial : Cartographic * 
        heading : float * 
        distance : float -> EllipsoidGeodesic

Parameters

ellipsoid: Type: AGI.Foundation.Geometry.ShapesEllipsoid
The ellipsoid on which the geodesic 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 geodesic to the location of the final point.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	Thrown when the parameter ellipsoid is null.
UnsupportedCaseException	The scalene case of a geodesic ellipsoid is not currently modeled and will be in a future release.

Remarks

If the initial point lies at a pole, the sum of the longitude of the initial point and the heading is used to determine the meridian on which the geodesic lies. If the final point determined for the geodesic lies at a pole, the FinalPoint of the geodesic will report longitude and heading consistent with the rest of the points on the geodesic curve.
