ComputeEllipseCartographic Method (IAgStkGraphicsSurfaceShapesInitializer)
See Also Example

CentralBody: The central body to compute the ellipse on.

Center: An array containing the center of the ellipse, in the centralBody's fixed reference frame, in the order latitude, longitude, altitude.

MajorAxisRadius: The radius of the ellipse's major axis, in meters.

MinorAxisRadius: The radius of the ellipse's minor axis, in meters.

Bearing: An angle, in radians, measured clockwise from north.

Description

For convenience. Computes boundary positions for an ellipse on the specified centralBody using a Cartographic center. Longitude and latitude are in radians, and altitude is in meters. This is equivalent to converting center to Cartesian and calling Compute Ellipse
