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.

centerTolerance

Type: SystemDouble
The numerical tolerance used to determine if a point is located at the center of the ellipsoid.

surfaceTolerance

Type: SystemDouble
The numerical tolerance used to determine if a point is located on the surface of the ellipsoid.

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.
