EllipsoidGrazingAltitude Method (Cartesian, UnitCartesian)

Provides the nearest distance between the ellipsoid and the line segment from the provided position and along the indicated direction. The line segment is considered to be infinite in length but starting at the provided position. This means that possibly smaller grazing altitudes along the opposite direction are not reported.
