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 ComputeEllipse

[Python - STK API]

def ComputeEllipseCartographic(self, CentralBody:str, Center:list, MajorAxisRadius:float, MinorAxisRadius:float, Bearing:float) -> "IAgStkGraphicsSurfaceShapesResult":

Parameters

CentralBody: The central body to compute the ellipse on.
Center: An array containing the center of the ellipse, in the '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.

Example

Shows the format of the Center parameter when computing an ellipse with a cartographic position.
