Ellipsoid Constructor (Double, Double, AxisIndicator)

Initializes an ellipsoid as a spheroid.

Syntax

C++

Copy

public Ellipsoid(
	double equatorialRadius,
	double polarRadius,
	AxisIndicator polarAxis
)

Public Sub New ( 
	equatorialRadius As Double,
	polarRadius As Double,
	polarAxis As AxisIndicator
)

public:
Ellipsoid(
	double equatorialRadius, 
	double polarRadius, 
	AxisIndicator polarAxis
)

new : 
        equatorialRadius : float * 
        polarRadius : float * 
        polarAxis : AxisIndicator -> Ellipsoid

Parameters

equatorialRadius: Type: SystemDouble
The lengths of the two equal semiaxis.
polarRadius: Type: SystemDouble
The length of the semiaxis which is unequal to the rest.
polarAxis: Type: AGI.Foundation.CoordinatesAxisIndicator
The axis which corresponds to the semiaxis which is unequal to the rest.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	Thrown when the parameters equatorialRadius or polarRadius are less than or equal to 0.

Remarks

If the equatorial radius is larger than the polar radius, the ellipsoid is an oblate spheroid. If the equatorial radius is smaller than the polar radius, the ellipsoid is a prolate spheroid.

The conversions between cartesian and cartographic coordinates define longitude measured in the xy-plane. Therefore, the z-axis will, in general, be indicated as the polar axis.
