All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`default double`	`angularSeparation(BodyPoint otherPoint)` Compute the angular separation, in radians, between the position of this and this of provided point, from the body frame origin.
`default double`	`distance(BodyPoint otherPoint)` Compute the cartesian distance, in meters, between the position of this and this of provided point.
`BodyShape`	`getBodyShape()` Get the `BodyShape` associated to this body point.
`BodyPoint`	`getClosestPointOnShape()` Returns the closest point to this on the shape surface.
`default LLHCoordinates`	`getLLHCoordinates()` Returns (after computation if not computed yet) the latitude/longitude/height coordinates of this in the associated body shape preferred coordinates system.
`LLHCoordinates`	`getLLHCoordinates(LLHCoordinatesSystem coordSystem)` Returns (after computation if not computed yet) the latitude/longitude/height coordinates of this in the requested coordinates system.
`String`	`getName()` Getter for the name of the point.
`default Frame`	`getNativeFrame(AbsoluteDate date)` Get the native frame, i.e. the raw frame in which PVCoordinates are expressed before transformation to user output frame.
`Vector3D`	`getNormal()` Get the normal direction, expressed in body frame, to the local horizontal plane at the point position, oriented towards the outside.
`default Vector3D`	`getNormal(AbsoluteDate date, Frame frame)` Returns the normal direction expressed in the provided frame.

  - getName
```

    Getter for the name of the point.
    
    Returns:
    
    the name of the point.
  - getPosition

    point cartesian position in body frame
  - getNormal
```
Vector3D getNormal()
```
    Get the normal direction, expressed in body frame, to the local horizontal plane at the point position, oriented towards the outside.
    
    It corresponds to the direction (apart from orientation) from this towards the closestPointOnShape.
    
    Returns:
    
    unit vector in the normal direction
  - getNormalHeight

double getNormalHeight()
```

    - Null distance if this is on the shape.
    Returns:
    
    the normal height
  - getClosestPointOnShape
```
BodyPoint getClosestPointOnShape()
```
    Returns the closest point to this on the shape surface.

  - getRadialProjectionOnShape
```
BodyPoint getRadialProjectionOnShape()
```
    Returns the body point, on the associated shape surface, in the radial direction corresponding to the position of this: if several of them (may happen for not star-convex shapes), the method considers the one farthest to the body frame origin (having the largest norm).
    Warnings: the returned point is not necessary the closest point belonging to the shape in the radial direction.

    the projection of this on the associated shape surface along the radial direction
  - isInsideShape
```

    true if the point is located inside or on the shape, false otherwise
  - isOnShapeSurface
```
default boolean isOnShapeSurface()
```
    Returns true if point is on body shape surface (i.e. its normal height is smaller than the body shape altitude epsilon), false otherwise.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if point is on body shape surface, false otherwise
