PointLonLat Module

Module Contents

class PointLonLat : public tracktable::PointBase<2>

2D point on a sphere

This class specializes PointBase to use boost::geometry in a spherical-equatorial coordinate system the familiar longitude/latitude mapping onto a sphere.

Subclassed by tracktable::domain::terrestrial::TerrestrialPoint

Public Types

typedef PointBase<2> Superclass

Convenient alias for superclass.

typedef Superclass::coordinate_type coord_type
