class
GeoPath
(point_a, point_b)[source]¶ - Geographical path between two positions in Frame E
Parameters: - point_a, point_b: Nvector, GeoPoint or ECEFvector objects
The path is defined by the line between point A and B, decomposed in E.
Notes
Please note that either point A or point B or both might be a vector of points. In this case the GeoPath instance represents all the paths between the points of A and the corresponding points of B.
