ComputeEllipse Method (IAgStkGraphicsSurfaceShapesInitializer)
See Also

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.

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.
