public final class VectorPathType
- extends PathType
This class serves to contain one static constant, VECTOR, indicating that
the in-between points of a path are points on the Euclidean shortest
distance line between the vertices. This line should be computed in
whatever "real-world" space the points live. So for example, if the
points are LatLonAlts, then the shortest distance line should be computed
in a coordinate system such as Earth Centered Earth Fixed (ECEF).
As an example of the use of VECTOR, consider two buildings some distance
apart, each with a person standing on top. If one of the people were to
fire a laser at the other, the beam would follow a straight path that does
not bend with the surface of the earth. This straight path is what is
meant by VECTOR.
