data class Vector(x: Double, y: Double, z: Double, t: Time)
A 3D Cartesian vector whose components are expressed in Astronomical Units (AU).
| Vector fun Vector(x: Double, y: Double, z: Double, t: Time) |
| Name | Summary |
|---|---|
| angleWith fun angleWith(other: Vector): Double Calculates the angle in degrees (0..180) between two vectors. |
|
| div operator fun div(denom: Double): Vector Divides a vector by a scalar. |
|
| dot infix fun dot(other: Vector): Double Takes the dot product of two vectors. |
|
| length fun length(): Double The total distance in AU represented by this vector. |
|
| minus operator fun minus(other: Vector): Vector Subtracts one vector from another. Both operands must have identical times. |
|
| plus operator fun plus(other: Vector): Vector Adds two vectors. Both operands must have identical times. |
|
| toEquatorial fun toEquatorial(): Equatorial Given an equatorial vector, calculates equatorial angular coordinates. |
|
| toHorizontal fun toHorizontal(refraction: Refraction): Spherical Converts Cartesian coordinates to horizontal coordinates. |
|
| toObserver fun toObserver(equator: EquatorEpoch): Observer Calculates the geographic location corresponding to a geocentric equatorial vector. |
|
| toSpherical fun toSpherical(): Spherical Converts Cartesian coordinates to spherical coordinates. |
|
| unaryMinus operator fun unaryMinus(): Vector Negates a vector; the same as multiplying the vector by the scalar -1. |
|
| withTime fun withTime(time: Time): Vector Creates a new vector with the same coordinates but a different time. |
