Units of measure of Camera.altitude

Open spyhunter99 opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

In the class Camera, there's an altitude field which I assume represents the altitude of the view/camera over the globe instance. There's really no javadocs on it. Is this in meters? kilometers? or something else?

The Camera's altitude field represents eye altitude in meters above the ellipsoid. In World Wind, all Cartesian units are in meters. You're right that the Javadocs should clarify this.
