Class TLcdCoverageAltitudeMode

java.lang.Object
com.luciad.tea.TLcdCoverageAltitudeMode

public final class TLcdCoverageAltitudeMode extends Object
Enumeration to indicate how coverage computation results should be interpreted.

    • ABOVE_GROUND_LEVEL

      public static final TLcdCoverageAltitudeMode ABOVE_GROUND_LEVEL
      Constant indicating that the resulting altitudes should be interpreted as heights above a reference terrain. Usually the terrain is defined by an implementation of ALcdTerrainElevationProvider.
    • ABOVE_OBJECT

      public static final TLcdCoverageAltitudeMode ABOVE_OBJECT
      Constant indicating that the resulting altitudes should be interpreted as heights relative to a reference object. This mode can be used to initialize a line-of-sight coverage or a point-to-point coverage.
    • ABOVE_ELLIPSOID

      public static final TLcdCoverageAltitudeMode ABOVE_ELLIPSOID
      Constant indicating that the resulting altitudes should be interpreted as heights relative to a reference ellipsoid. This mode can be used to initialize a line-of-sight coverage or a point-to-point coverage.
    • ABOVE_GEOID

      public static final TLcdCoverageAltitudeMode ABOVE_GEOID
      Constant indicating that the resulting altitudes should be interpreted as heights relative to a reference geoid. This mode can be used to initialize a line-of-sight coverage or a point-to-point coverage.
    • AMSL

      public static final TLcdCoverageAltitudeMode AMSL
      Deprecated.
      Use the equivalent name ABOVE_GEOID, which is a more accurate description.
      Constant indicating that the resulting altitudes should be interpreted as heights above mean sea level. In practice, it is taken to be equivalent to ABOVE_GEOID, although the average mean sea level can differ from the geoid, due to currents, prevailing winds, and varying salinity.
