vtkGeoSphereTransform

Section: Visualization Toolkit Geo Vis Classes

Usage

the cartesian coordinate system is the following (if BaseAltitude is 0), - the origin is at the center of the earth - the x axis goes from the origin to (longtitude=-90,latitude=0), intersection of equator and the meridian passing just east of Galapagos Islands - the y axis goes from the origin to the intersection of Greenwitch meridian and equator (longitude=0,latitude=0) - the z axis goes from the origin to the Geographic North Pole (latitude=90) - therefore the frame is right-handed.

To create an instance of class vtkGeoSphereTransform, simply invoke its constructor as follows
