GeoPath
(positionA, positionB)[source][source]¶ - 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.
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.
