Constructor Detail

AttitudeInterpolator

public AttitudeInterpolator(Frame referenceFrame,
                            TimeInterpolator<TimeStampedAngularCoordinates> interpolator)

Constructor.

Parameters:

referenceFrame - reference frame from which attitude is defined

interpolator - time stamped angular coordinates interpolator

Method Detail

getReferenceFrame

public Frame getReferenceFrame()

Get reference frame from which attitude is defined.

Returns:

reference frame from which attitude is defined

getAngularInterpolator

public TimeInterpolator<TimeStampedAngularCoordinates> getAngularInterpolator()

Get time stamped angular coordinates interpolator.

Returns:

time stamped angular coordinates interpolator

getSubInterpolators

public List<TimeInterpolator<? extends TimeStamped>> getSubInterpolators()

Description copied from class: AbstractTimeInterpolator

Get all lowest level interpolators implemented by this instance, otherwise return a list with this instance only.

An example would be the spacecraft state interpolator which can use different interpolators for each of its attributes (orbit, absolute position-velocity-acceleration coordinates, mass...). In this case, it would return the list of all of these interpolators (or possibly all of their sub-interpolators if they were to use multiple interpolators themselves).

Specified by:

getSubInterpolators in interface TimeInterpolator<Attitude>

Overrides:

getSubInterpolators in class AbstractTimeInterpolator<Attitude>

Returns:

list of interpolators

interpolate

protected Attitude interpolate(AbstractTimeInterpolator.InterpolationData interpolationData)

Interpolate instance from given interpolation data.

Specified by:

interpolate in class AbstractTimeInterpolator<Attitude>

Parameters:

interpolationData - interpolation data

Returns:

interpolated instance from given interpolation data.
