Types
There are 6 coordiante system types in MaxQ, each with its own data type. A 7th is indirectly supported via its individual elements.
| #Coordinate System | Variable Type | Coords |
|---|---|---|
| Rectangular | SDistanceVector |
X Y Z |
| Planetographic | SPlanetographicVector |
LON LAT ALT |
| Geodetic | SGeodeticVector |
LON LAT ALT |
| Latitudinal | SLatitudinalVector |
R LON LAT |
| Spherical | SSphericalVector |
R COLAT LON |
| Cylindrical | SCylindricalVector |
R LON Z |
| Range, Right Ascension, Declination | SDistance / SAngle / SAngle |
RANGE RA DEC |
Conversions
Conversions are provided to convert from one coordinate system type to another, easily.
