Function sin_atd

Source
pub fn sin_atd(a: &Vector3d, pole: &Vector3d, point: &Vector3d) -> UnitNegRange
Expand description

The sine of the along track distance of a point along a Great Circle arc.

It is the triple product of the pole, a and the point: (pole X a) . point = pole . (a X point)

  • a - the start point of the Great Circle arc.
  • pole - the pole of the Great Circle arc.
  • point - the point.

returns the sine of the along track distance of point relative to the start of a great circle arc.
