PLOT_GROUNDTRACK

Plots ground track of Earth's satellite.

Block Screenshot

Contents

Description

Plots contour map of specified region of Earth and shows satellite groundtrack on top of it. Trajectory must be given in cartesian coordinates.

Data types

Dialog box

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")
