Method Details

### convertRefFrame (self, reframe2, reframe, epoch=None) |
DEPRECATED, use method toRefFrame. Decorators: `@deprecated_method`

### intersections2 (self, radius, center2, radius2, sphere=True, Vector=None, **Vector_kwds) |
Compute the intersection of two spheres or circles, each defined by a cartesian center point and a radius. Arguments: `radius` - Radius of this sphere or circle (same units as this point's coordinates). `center2` - Center of the second sphere or circle (`Cartesian`, Vector3d, `Vector3Tuple` or `Vector4Tuple`). `radius2` - Radius of the second sphere or circle (same units as this and the `other` point's coordinates). `sphere` - If `True` compute the center and radius of the intersection of two spheres. If `False`, ignore the `z`-component and compute the intersection of two circles (`bool`). `Vector` - Class to return intersections (`Cartesian`, Vector3d or `Vector3Tuple`) or `None` for an instance of this (sub-)class. `Vector_kwds` - Optional, additional `Vector` keyword arguments, ignored if `Vector is None`. Returns: If `sphere` is `True`, a 2-tuple of the `center` and `radius` of the intersection of the spheres. The `radius` is `0.0` for abutting spheres (and the `center` is aka radical center). If `sphere` is `False`, a 2-tuple with the two intersection points of the circles. For abutting circles, both points are the same instance, aka radical center. Raises: `IntersectionError` - Concentric, invalid or non-intersecting spheres or circles. `TypeError` - Invalid `center2`. `UnitError` - Invalid `radius` or `radius2`. See Also: Sphere-Sphere, Circle-Circle Intersection and function radical2.

### toRefFrame (self, reframe2, reframe, epoch=None) |
Convert this cartesian point from one to an other reference frame. Arguments: `reframe2` - Reference frame to convert to (RefFrame). `reframe` - Reference frame to convert from (RefFrame). `epoch` - Optional epoch to observe (`scalar`, fractional calendar year), overriding `reframe`'s epoch. Returns: The converted point (`Cartesian`) or this point if conversion is `nil`. Raises: `TRFError` - No conversion available from `reframe` to `reframe2` or invalid `epoch`. `TypeError` - `reframe2` or `reframe` not a RefFrame.
