Constructor Detail

Position

public Position()

Constructs a position with latitude, longitude and altitude all 0.

Position

public Position(double latitude,
                double longitude,
                double altitude)

Constructs a position with a specified latitude and longitude in degrees and altitude in meters.

Parameters:

latitude - the latitude in degrees

longitude - the longitude in degrees

altitude - the altitude in meters

Position

public Position(Position position)

Constructs a position with the latitude, longitude and altitude of a specified position.

Parameters:

position - the position specifying the coordinates

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the position is null

Method Detail

fromDegrees

public static Position fromDegrees(double latitudeDegrees,
                                   double longitudeDegrees,
                                   double altitude)

Constructs a position with a specified latitude and longitude in degrees and altitude in meters.

Parameters:

latitudeDegrees - the latitude in degrees

longitudeDegrees - the longitude in degrees

altitude - the altitude in meters

Returns:

the new position

fromRadians

public static Position fromRadians(double latitudeRadians,
                                   double longitudeRadians,
                                   double altitude)

Constructs a position with a specified latitude and longitude in radians and altitude in meters.

Parameters:

latitudeRadians - the latitude in radians

longitudeRadians - the longitude in radians

altitude - the altitude in meters

Returns:

the new position

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Location

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Location

toString

@NonNull
public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Location

set

public Position set(double latitude,
                    double longitude,
                    double altitude)

Sets this position to a specified latitude and longitude in degrees and altitude in meters.

Parameters:

latitude - the new latitude in degrees

longitude - the new longitude in degrees

altitude - the new altitude in meters

Returns:

this position with its latitude, longitude and altitude set to the specified values

set

public Position set(Position position)

Sets this position to the latitude, longitude and altitude of a specified position.

Parameters:

position - the position specifying the new coordinates

Returns:

this position with its latitude, longitude and altitude set to that of the specified position

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the position is null

interpolateAlongPath

public Position interpolateAlongPath(Position endPosition,
                                     int pathType,
                                     double amount,
                                     Position result)

Compute a position along a path between two positions. The amount indicates the fraction of the path at which to compute a position. This value is typically between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates the begin position (this position) and 1 indicates the end position.

Parameters:

endPosition - the path's end position

pathType - WorldWind.PathType indicating type of path to assume

amount - the fraction of the path at which to compute a position

result - a pre-allocated Position in which to return the computed result

Returns:

the result argument set to the computed position

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If either of the end position or the result argument is null
