Detailed Description

A plane tangent to an Ellipsoid at a certain origin position.

If the origin is not on the surface of the ellipsoid, its surface projection will be used.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

EllipsoidTangentPlane() [1/2]

CesiumGeospatial::EllipsoidTangentPlane::EllipsoidTangentPlane	(	const glm::dvec3 &	origin,
		const Ellipsoid &	ellipsoid = CesiumGeospatial::Ellipsoid::WGS84 )

Creates a new instance.

Parameters

origin	The origin, in cartesian coordinates.
ellipsoid	The ellipsoid. Default value: Ellipsoid::WGS84.

Exceptions

An	std::invalid_argument if the given origin is at the center of the ellipsoid.

EllipsoidTangentPlane() [2/2]

CesiumGeospatial::EllipsoidTangentPlane::EllipsoidTangentPlane	(	const glm::dmat4 &	eastNorthUpToFixedFrame,
		const Ellipsoid &	ellipsoid = CesiumGeospatial::Ellipsoid::WGS84 )

Creates a new instance.

Parameters

eastNorthUpToFixedFrame	A transform that was computed with GlobeTransforms::eastNorthUpToFixedFrame.
ellipsoid	The ellipsoid. Default value: Ellipsoid::WGS84.

projectPointToNearestOnPlane()

glm::dvec2 CesiumGeospatial::EllipsoidTangentPlane::projectPointToNearestOnPlane ( const glm::dvec3 & cartesian ) const

noexcept

Computes the position of the projection of the given point on this plane.

Projects the given point on this plane, along the normal. The result will be a 2D point, referring to the local coordinate system of the plane that is given by the x- and y-axis.

Parameters

cartesian

The point in cartesian coordinates.

Returns

The 2D representation of the point on the plane that is closest to the given position.
