Plots ground track of Earth's satellite.
Plots contour map of specified region of Earth and shows satellite groundtrack on top of it. Trajectory must be given in cartesian coordinates.
Input: 3x1 double
Accept inherited events - if "0" block will have event input, if "1" it will refresh on inputs change
Map color - color of the contour map (accepts every color supported by color() function)
Map line thickness - thickness of the contour map
Trajectory color - color of the trajectory line (accepts every color supported by color() function)
Trajectory line thickness - thickness of the trajectory line in pixels. Must be positive.
Grid size - size of the map grid. Both values must be greater than 0.
Definition of the view area - bonds defining map boundaries (in degrees)
Resolution - resolution of the contour map ("low" or "high")
Coordinates - use spherical or elliptical coordinates ("ell" or "sph")
Accept inherited events = 1
Map color = blue
Map line thickness = 1
Trajectory color = red
Trajectory line thickness = 2
Grid size = [30,15]
Definition of the view area = [-180,-90,180,90]
Resolution = low
Coordinates = sph
