Parameters

observerPosition

Type: AGI.Foundation.CoordinatesCartographic
The planetodetic position of the observer object, expressed as a longitude, latitude, and altitude relative to the ellipsoid specified by the Shape property of the terrainProvider.

targetPosition

Type: AGI.Foundation.CoordinatesCartographic
The planetodetic position of the target object, expressed as a longitude, latitude, and altitude relative to the ellipsoid specified by the Shape property of the terrainProvider.

terrainProvider

Type: AGI.Foundation.TerrainTerrainProvider
The terrain provider describing the terrain that is potentially obscuring the path between the two objects.

minimumTerrainHeight

Type: SystemDouble
The minimum height in meters that can be returned by the TerrainProvider's GetHeightRelativeToShape(Double, Double) method. Setting this value lower than necessary will not affect the results, but it will decrease performance. Setting it too high can cause incorrect results. For realistic Earth-based terrain data, DefaultMinimumTerrainHeight is a safe value to use for this parameter.

maximumTerrainHeight

Type: SystemDouble
The maximum height in meters that can be returned by the TerrainProvider's GetHeightRelativeToShape(Double, Double) method. Setting this value higher than necessary will not affect the results, but it will decrease performance. Setting it too low can cause incorrect results. For realistic Earth-based terrain data, DefaultMaximumTerrainHeight is a safe value to use for this parameter.
