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

Initialize	Initializes 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.
InitializeWithCentralBody	Initializes a great arc interpolator with the specified centralBody and a Granularity of `1` degree.
InitializeWithCentralBodyAndGranularity	Initializes a great arc interpolator with the specified centralBody and granularity.

Example

GreatArcInterpolator Primitives

[Python - STK API]

# 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)

% IAgScenario scenario: Scenario object

manager = scenario.SceneManager;
% Interpolate points over great arc
interpolator = manager.Initializers.GreatArcInterpolator.InitializeWithCentralBody('Earth');
interpolator.Granularity = .1;
result = interpolator.Interpolate(positionArray);
