radiansPairToGreatArc Method

  • For a given pair of points on an ellipsoid, construct an arc (possibly elliptical) which
    • passes through both points
    • is completely within the ellipsoid surface
    • has its centerEvaluate a point on the ellipsoid at angles give in radians.
  • If the ellipsoid is a sphere, this is the shortest great-circle arc between the two points.
  • If the ellipsoid is not a sphere, this is close to but not precisely the shortest path.
