WGS84GeodeticRepresentation

class astropy.coordinates.WGS84GeodeticRepresentation(lon, lat=None, height=None, copy=True)

Bases: BaseGeodeticRepresentation

Representation of points in WGS84 3D geodetic coordinates.

Parameters:

lon, latastropy:angle-like

The longitude and latitude of the point(s), in angular units. The latitude should be between -90 and 90 degrees, and the longitude will be wrapped to an angle between 0 and 360 degrees. These can also be instances of Angle and either Longitude not Latitude, depending on the parameter.

heightQuantity [:ref: ‘length’]

The height to the point(s).

copybool, optional

If True (default), arrays will be copied. If False, arrays will be references, though possibly broadcast to ensure matching shapes.

Attributes Summary

height	The 'height' component of the points(s).
lat	The 'lat' component of the points(s).
lon	The 'lon' component of the points(s).
name	Name of the representation or differential.

Attributes Documentation

height

The ‘height’ component of the points(s).

lat

The ‘lat’ component of the points(s).

lon

The ‘lon’ component of the points(s).

name = 'wgs84geodetic'

Name of the representation or differential.

When a subclass is defined, by default, the name is the lower-cased name of the class with with any trailing ‘representation’ or ‘differential’ removed. (E.g., ‘spherical’ for SphericalRepresentation or SphericalDifferential.)

This can be customized when defining a subclass by setting the class attribute.
