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.
