Method Details

### __new__ (cls, a, f, **name) Static Method |
New a_f2Tuple ellipsoid specification. Arguments: `a` - Equatorial radius (`scalar` > 0). `f` - Flattening (`scalar` < 1, negative for prolate). Returns: a new object with type S, a subtype of T An a_f2Tuple`(a, f)` instance. Raises: `UnitError` - Invalid `a` or `f`. Overrides: object.__new__ Note: `abs(f) < EPS` is forced to `f=0`, spherical. Negative `f` produces a prolate ellipsoid.

Class Variable Details

  ### _Names_ Tuple specifying the `name` of each `Named-Tuple` item. Note: Specify at least 2 item names. Value:
      ('a', 'f')

  ### _Units_ Tuple defining the `units` of the value of each `Named-Tuple` item. Note: The `len(_Units_)` must match `len(_Names_)`. Value:
      _Pass, _Pass

Property Details

### b Get the polar radius (`meter`), a * (1 - f). Get method: _fget(inst) Set method: _fset_error(inst, val) - Throws an `AttributeError`, always. Delete Method: _fdel(inst)

### f_ Get the inverse flattening (`float`), 1 / f == a / (a - b). Get method: _fget(inst) Set method: _fset_error(inst, val) - Throws an `AttributeError`, always. Delete Method: _fdel(inst)
