IAgStkGraphicsGreatArcInterpolatorFactory Interface

Description

The great arc interpolator computes interpolated positions along a great arc. A great arc is the shortest path between two positions on an ellipsoid.

Public Methods

Public Method InitializeInitializes a default great arc interpolator. This is equivalent to constructing a great arc interpolator with a Central Body equal to an instance of Earth Central Body and a Granularity of 1 degree.
Public Method InitializeWithCentralBodyInitializes a great arc interpolator with the specified centralBody and a Granularity of 1 degree.
Public Method InitializeWithCentralBodyAndGranularityInitializes a great arc interpolator with the specified centralBody and granularity.

Example

GreatArcInterpolator Primitives
[MATLAB]
% IAgScenario scenario: Scenario object
% Create a array of LLA values and interoplate them over the specified
% central body
positionArray = {35.017; -118.540; 0; 44.570; -96.474; 0; 31.101; -82.619; 0};
manager = scenario.SceneManager;
% Interpolate points over great arc
interpolator = manager.Initializers.GreatArcInterpolator.InitializeWithCentralBody('Earth');
interpolator.Granularity = .1;
result = interpolator.Interpolate(positionArray);
