GEOCALCPBW_NAMESPACE::Serializable
The Ellipsoid class represents a mathematical approximation of the shape of the Earth. An Ellipsoid can be defined by its SemiMajor and SemiMinor radii, or by its SemiMajor radius and an InverseFlattening value. It provides methods for performing mathematical computations about the shape and size of the Ellipsoid, as well as the relationship between points on the Ellipsoid.
This object can also represent a sphere. The sphere is a unique case where the SemiMajor and SemiMinor radii are equal. It is not possible to define a sphere by specifying the SemiMajor radius and the InverseFlattening value; one must specify the SemiMajor and SemiMinor radii.
