nvector.objects.GeoPath

class nvector.objects.GeoPath(positionA, positionB)

Geographical path between two positions in Frame E

Parameters:

positionA, positionB: Nvector, GeoPoint or ECEFvector objects

The path is defined by the line between position A and B, decomposed in E.

__init__(positionA, positionB)

Methods

__init__(positionA, positionB)
closest_point_on_great_circle(point)
closest_point_on_path(point)	Returns closest point on great circle path segment to the point.
cross_track_distance(point[, method, radius])	Return cross track distance from path to point.
ecef_vectors()	Return positionA and positionB as ECEF-vectors
geo_points()	Return positionA and positionB as geo-points
interpolate(ti)	Return the interpolated point along the path
intersect(path)	Return the intersection(s) between the great circles of the two paths
intersection(*args, **kwds)	intersection is deprecated!
nvector_normals()
nvectors()	Return positionA and positionB as n-vectors
on_great_circle(point[, rtol, atol])
on_path(point[, method, rtol, atol])	Return True if point is on the path between A and B
track_distance([method, radius])	Return the distance of the path.
