Struct vsop87::SphericalCoordinates

pub struct SphericalCoordinates { /* private fields */ }

Structure representing spherical coordinates of a body.

Implementations

impl SphericalCoordinates

pub fn longitude(&self) -> f64

Gets the ecliptic longitude of the body, in radians.

This value represents the angular distance of an object along the ecliptic plane from the primary direction. In the case of heliocentric coordinates, it represents the l parameter, in geocentric coordinates, represents the λ parameter.

pub fn latitude(&self) -> f64

Gets the ecliptic latitude of the body, in radians.

This value represents the angular distance of an object from the ecliptic towards the north ecliptic pole. In the case of heliocentric coordinates, it represents the b parameter, in geocentric coordinates, represents the β parameter.

pub fn distance(&self) -> f64

Gets the distance to the center of mass, in astronomical units (AU).

In the case of heliocentric coordinates, it represents the r parameter, in geocentric coordinates, represents the Δ parameter.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for SphericalCoordinates

fn clone(&self) -> SphericalCoordinates

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for SphericalCoordinates

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for SphericalCoordinates

fn eq(&self, other: &SphericalCoordinates) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
