Class: InterceptGreatCircleToPointBuilder

Builds paths connecting initial great-circle paths to final great-circle paths via a turn starting at the start point followed by an angled intercept path which intercepts the final path before the end point.

Constructors

constructor

• new InterceptGreatCircleToPointBuilder(): InterceptGreatCircleToPointBuilder

Returns

InterceptGreatCircleToPointBuilder

Methods

build

▸ build(vectors, index, start, startPath, startTurnRadius, startTurnDirection, interceptAngle, end, endPath, endTurnRadius?, startTurnVectorFlags?, interceptVectorFlags?, endTurnVectorFlags?): number

Builds a sequence of vectors representing a path from a defined start point and initial course which turns and intercepts a final course at a specified angle using a great-circle path. Optionally includes a final turn from the intercept path to the final course.

If an intercept angle greater than the minimum angle is required to intercept the final course before the end point, no vectors will be calculated.

If the initial and final courses are parallel, no vectors will be calculated.

Parameters

Name	Type	Default value	Description
vectors	CircleVector[]	undefined	The flight path vector sequence to which to add the vectors.
index	number	undefined	The index in the sequence at which to add the vectors.
start	Readonly<Omit<Float64Array, "set" | "sort" | "copyWithin">> | LatLonInterface	undefined	The start point.
startPath	GeoCircle	undefined	The great-circle path defining the initial course.
startTurnRadius	number	undefined	The radius of the initial turn, in meters.
startTurnDirection	undefined | VectorTurnDirection	undefined	The direction of the initial turn. If not defined, the direction of the initial turn will be automatically selected.
interceptAngle	number	undefined	The angle at which to intercept the final path, in degrees. Will be clamped to the range [0, 90].
end	Readonly<Omit<Float64Array, "set" | "sort" | "copyWithin">> | LatLonInterface	undefined	The end point.
endPath	GeoCircle	undefined	The great-circle path defining the final course.
endTurnRadius?	number	undefined	The radius of the final turn, in meters, or undefined if a turn to join the final path should not be calculated.
startTurnVectorFlags	number	0	The flags to set on the initial turn vector. Defaults to none (0).
interceptVectorFlags	number	0	The flags to set on the vector along the intercept path. Defaults to none (0).
endTurnVectorFlags	number	0	The flags to set on the final turn vector. Defaults to none (0). Ignored if a turn to join the final path is not calculated.

Returns

number

The number of vectors added to the sequence.
