Method Detail

getJ

double[] getJ(boolean normalized,
              int n)

Get the tesseral-sectorial and zonal coefficients.

Parameters:

n - the degree

m - the order

normalized - (true) or un-normalized (false)

Returns:

the cosines coefficients matrix

Throws:

OrekitException - if the requested maximal degree or order exceeds the available degree or order

getS

double[][] getS(int n,
                int m,
                boolean normalized)
                throws OrekitException

Get tesseral-sectorial coefficients.

Parameters:

n - the degree
