                      EcefCartesian

Conversion between geodetic `(lat, lon, height)` and local cartesian `(x, y, z)` coordinates with a local cartesian origin at `(lat0, lon0, height0)`, transcribed from Karney's C++ class LocalCartesian.

The `z` axis is normal to the ellipsoid, the `y` axis points due North. The plane `z = -heighth0` is tangent to the ellipsoid.

The conversions all take place via geocentric coordinates using a geocentric EcefKarney, by default the WGS84 datum/ellipsoid.

Method Details

### __init__ (self, latlonh0=0, lon0=0, height0=0, ecef=None, name='') (Constructor) |
New EcefCartesian converter. Arguments: `latlonh0` - Either a `LatLon`, an Ecef9Tuple or `scalar` latitude in `degrees` of the cartesian origin. `lon0` - Optional `scalar` longitude of the cartesian origin in `degrees` for `scalar` `latlonh0`. `height0` - Optional height of the cartesian origin in `meter`, vertically above (or below) the surface of the ellipsoid. `ecef` - An ECEF converter (EcefKarney). `name` - Optional name (`str`). Raises: `EcefError` - If `latlonh0` not `LatLon`, Ecef9Tuple or `scalar` or `lon0` not `scalar` for `scalar` `latlonh0` or `abs(lat)` exceeds 90°. `TypeError` - Invalid `ecef`, not EcefKarney. Overrides: object.__init__

### forward (self, latlonh, lon=None, height=0, M=False) |
Convert from geodetic `(lat, lon, height)` to local cartesian `(x, y, z)`. Arguments: `latlonh` - Either a `LatLon`, an Ecef9Tuple or `scalar` latitude in `degrees`. `lon` - Optional `scalar` longitude in `degrees` for `scalar` `latlonh`. `height` - Optional height in `meter`, vertically above (or below) the surface of the ellipsoid. `M` - Optionally, return the rotation EcefMatrix (`bool`). Returns: An Ecef9Tuple`(x, y, z, lat, lon, height, C, M, datum)` with geocentric `(x, y, z)` coordinates for the given geodetic ones `(lat, lon, height)`, case `C` 0, optional EcefMatrix `M` and `datum` if available. Raises: `EcefError` - If `latlonh` not `LatLon`, Ecef9Tuple or `scalar` or `lon` not `scalar` for `scalar` `latlonh` or `abs(lat)` exceeds 90°. See Also: Note at method EcefKarney.forward.

### reset (self, latlonh0=0, lon0=0, height0=0, name='') |
Reset the local cartesian origin. Arguments: `latlonh0` - Either a `LatLon`, an Ecef9Tuple or `scalar` latitude in `degrees` of the cartesian origin. `lon0` - Optional, `scalar` longitude of the cartesian origin in `degrees` for `scalar` `latlonh0`. `height0` - Optional, height of the cartesian origin in `meter`, vertically above (or below) the surface of the ellipsoid. `name` - Optional, new name (`str`). Raises: `EcefError` - If `latlonh0` not `LatLon`, Ecef9Tuple or `scalar` or `lon0` not `scalar` for `scalar` `latlonh0` or `abs(lat)` exceeds 90°.

### reverse (self, xyz, y=None, z=None, M=False) |
Convert from local cartesian `(x, y, z)` to geodetic `(lat, lon, height)`. Arguments: `xyz` - Either an Ecef9Tuple, an `(x, y, z)` 3-tuple or `scalar` local cartesian `x` coordinate in `meter`. `y` - Local cartesian `y` coordinate in `meter` for `scalar` `xyz` and `z`. `z` - Local cartesian `z` coordinate in `meter` for `scalar` `xyz` and `y`. `M` - Optionally, return the rotation EcefMatrix (`bool`). Returns: An Ecef9Tuple`(x, y, z, lat, lon, height, C, M, datum)` with geodetic coordinates `(lat, lon, height)` for the given geocentric ones `(x, y, z)`, case `C`, optional EcefMatrix `M` and `datum` if available. Raises: `EcefError` - If `xyz` not Ecef9Tuple or `scalar` `x` or `y` and/or `z` not `scalar` for `scalar` `xyz`. See Also: Note at method EcefKarney.reverse.

### toStr (self, prec=9) |
Return this EcefCartesian as a string. Arguments: `prec` - Optional precision, number of decimal digits (0..9). Returns: This EcefCartesian representation (`str`). Raises: `AssertionError` - Always, see function notOverloaded. Overrides: named._Named.toStr
