nvector.objects.GeoPath

class 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__(self, positionA, positionB)

x.__init__(…) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature
