Package org.apache.sis.measure
Class ElevationAngle
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable,- Comparable<Angle>,- Formattable
The angular height of an object measured from the horizontal plane.
 The elevation angle is part of local topocentric coordinates together with azimuth and distance.
 For visible objects the elevation is an angle between 0° and 90°.
 
Note:
 Elevation angle and altitude angle may be used interchangeably.
 Both altitude and elevation words are also used to describe the
 height in meters above sea level.

Constructor Details- 
ElevationAnglepublic ElevationAngle(double ε) Constructs a new elevation angle with the specified angular value.- Parameters:
- ε- elevation angle value in decimal degrees.
 
- 
ElevationAngleConstructs a newly allocatedElevationAngleobject that contain the angular value represented by the string. The string should represent an angle in either fractional degrees (e.g. 45.5°) or degrees with minutes and seconds (e.g. 45°30').- Parameters:
- string- a string to be converted to an- ElevationAngle.
- Throws:
- NumberFormatException- if the string does not contain a parsable angle, or represents an elevation angle.
