set_SemiMajor Method

Updated 
WRAPPER_API void set_SemiMajor(LinearValue &value)
 

Description

The set_SemiMajor method sets the length of the semi-major radius of this Ellipsoid.  

 

Example

void Ellipsoid_setSemiMajor(GEOCALCPBW_NAMESPACE::DataSource & data)
{
GEOCALCPBW_NAMESPACE::Ellipsoid ell;
GEOCALCPBW_NAMESPACE::LinearValue semiMaj;
semiMaj.set_InMeters(6378137);
ell.set_SemiMajor(semiMaj);
ell.set_InvFlatDefinitive(true);
ell.set_InverseFlattening(298.257223563);
 
GEOCALCPBW_NAMESPACE::GeodeticPoint * fromPt = data.GetGeodeticPoint(L"BMG", L"GEODETIC_POINT_DEGREES");
GEOCALCPBW_NAMESPACE::GeodeticPoint * toPt = data.GetGeodeticPoint(L"BMG", L"GEODETIC_POINT_DEGREES");
fromPt->set_InUnits(-77.36, 45.45);
double azimuth = 1.004;
double geodesic = 1336;
if(! ell.ComputeDirect(*fromPt, geodesic, azimuth, *toPt))
{
AfxMessageBox("ComputeDirect failed");
}
 
delete fromPt;
delete toPt;
}
