Method Details

__init__ (self, a_ellipsoid=Ellipsoid(name='WGS84', a=6378137, b=6356752.31424518, f_=298...., f=None, name='', lon00=0)
(Constructor)

 

New Ecef* converter.

Arguments:
  • a_ellipsoid - A (non-prolate) ellipsoid (Ellipsoid, Ellipsoid2, Datum or a_f2Tuple) or scalar ellipsoid's equatorial radius (meter).
  • f - None or the ellipsoid flattening (scalar), required for scalar a_ellipsoid, f=0 represents a sphere, negative f a prolate ellipsoid.
  • name - Optional name (str).
  • lon00 - An arbitrary, "polar" longitude (degrees), see the methods reverse.
Raises:
Overrides: object.__init__

__eq__ (self, other)
(Equality operator)

 

Compare this and an other Ecef.

Arguments:
  • other - The other ecef (Ecef*).
Returns:
True if equal, False otherwise.

forward (self, latlonh, lon=None, height=0, M=False, name='')

 

Convert from geodetic (lat, lon, height) to geocentric (x, y, z).

Arguments:
  • latlonh - Either a LatLon, an Ecef9Tuple or scalar latitude (degrees).
  • lon - Optional scalar longitude for scalar latlonh (degrees).
  • height - Optional height (meter), vertically above (or below) the surface of the ellipsoid.
  • M - Optionally, return the rotation EcefMatrix (bool).
  • name - Optional name (str).
Returns:
An Ecef9Tuple(x, y, z, lat, lon, height, C, M, datum) with geocentric (x, y, z) coordinates for the given geodetic ones (lat, lon, height), case C 0, optional M (EcefMatrix) and datum if available.
Raises:
  • EcefError - If latlonh not LatLon, Ecef9Tuple or scalar or lon not scalar for scalar latlonh or abs(lat) exceeds 90°.

Note: Use method .forward_ to specify lat and lon in radians and avoid double angle conversions.

forward_ (self, phi, lam, height=0, M=False, name='')

 

Like method .forward except with geodetic lat- and longitude given in radians.

Arguments:
  • phi - Latitude in radians (scalar).
  • lam - Longitude in radians (scalar).
  • height - Optional height (meter), vertically above (or below) the surface of the ellipsoid.
  • M - Optionally, return the rotation EcefMatrix (bool).
  • name - Optional name (str).
Returns:
An Ecef9Tuple(x, y, z, lat, lon, height, C, M, datum) with lat set to degrees90(phi) and lon to degrees180(lam).
Raises:
  • EcefError - If phi or lam invalid or not scalar.

toStr (self, prec=9, **unused)

 

Return this Ecef* as a string.

Arguments:
  • prec - Precision, number of decimal digits (0..9).
Returns:
This Ecef* (str).
Overrides: named._Named.toStr
