CPolarCoordinate

Description

Constructors

CPolarCoordinate()
CPolarCoordinate( const CPolarCoordinate& source )

Constructs an empty coordinate or copies another CPolarCoordinate.

Methods

void Copy( const CPolarCoordinate& coordinate )

Copies the contents of another CPolarCoordinate.

void Get( double& up_down_angle, double& left_right_angle, double& distance )

This allows you to retrieve all the data members in one function call.

double GetUpDownAngleInDegrees( void ) const

This method returns the up/down angle in degrees.

double GetLeftRightAngleInDegrees( void ) const

This method returns the left/right angle in degrees.

double GetDistanceFromSurfaceInMeters( void ) const

This method returns the distance from the surface of the ellipsoid.

void Set( double up_down_angle, double left_right_angle, double distance )

This lets you set all of the data members in a single function call.

void SetUpDownAngleInDegrees( double up_down_angle )

This method sets the up/down angle.

void SetLeftRightAngleInDegrees( double left_right_angle )

This method sets the left/right angle.

void SetDistanceFromSurfaceInMeters( double distance )

This method sets the distance from the surface of the ellipsoid.

Operators

= ( const CPolarCoordinate& source )

Basically calls Copy().

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <GFC.h>
#pragma hdrstop

void main( void )
{
   CPolarCoordinate here;
   CPolarCoordinate there;

   // here is 39 degrees 12.152 minutes North Latitude, 76 degrees 46.795 minutes West Longitude
   here.SetUpDownAngleInDegrees(     CMath::ConvertDegreesMinutesSecondsCoordinateToDecimalDegrees(  39.0, 12.152, 0.0 ) );
   here.SetLeftRightAngleInDegrees(  CMath::ConvertDegreesMinutesSecondsCoordinateToDecimalDegrees( -76.0, 46.795, 0.0 ) );
   here.SetDistanceFromSurfaceInMeters( 1000.0 );

   there = here;
