ComputeEllipse 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 order x, y, z), in the centralBody's fixed reference frame.
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

Computes boundary positions for an ellipse on the specified centralBody This is equivalent to calling Compute Ellipse with a granularity of 1 degree.

Syntax

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function ComputeEllipse( _
   ByVal CentralBody As String, _
   ByRef Center() As Variant, _
   ByVal MajorAxisRadius As Double, _
   ByVal MinorAxisRadius As Double, _
   ByVal Bearing As Double _
) As IAgStkGraphicsSurfaceShapesResult

Parameters

CentralBody
The central body to compute the ellipse on.
Center
An array containing the center of the ellipse (in the order x, y, z), in the centralBody's fixed reference frame.
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.

Example

Shows the format of the Center parameter when computing an ellipse.
