CartesianPoint Class

Uses

GeoCalcCOM.ICartesianPoint

Description

The CartesianPoint class represents a single point in a Cartesian coordinate system, such as one defined by GeocentricCoordSys.  A CartesianPoint describes its position in terms of distance from the origin on three mutually orthogonal axes.  The origin is given by the point (0, 0, 0) and, in the case of a GeocentricCoordSys, it corresponds with the center of the earth.
