Constructor Detail

LocalOrbitalFrame

public LocalOrbitalFrame(Frame parent,
                         LOFType type,
                         PVCoordinatesProvider provider,
                         String name)

Build a new instance.

Parameters:

parent - parent frame. Local orbital frame is defined relatively to this parent frame. Parent frame is usually inertial or quasi-inertial, although non-inertial frame can also be used (in this case, this is not exactly a local orbital frame).

type - frame type

provider - provider used to compute frame motion

name - name of the frame

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the parent frame is null

Method Detail

getLofType

public LOFType getLofType()

Returns the local orbital frame type.

Returns:

the local orbital frame type

getCenter

public PVCoordinatesProvider getCenter()

Returns the center of the LOF.

Returns:

the center of the LOF
