Struct Documentation

struct TCoords

A coordinate that is stored as a simple “decimal” angle in degrees, but can be retrieved/set in the form of DEGREES + arc-MINUTES + arc-SECONDS.

Public Functions

inline TCoords(const int _deg, const int _min, const double _sec)

inline TCoords(const double dec)

inline TCoords()

inline operator double() const: Automatic conversion to a double value (read-only)

inline operator double&(): Automatic conversion to a double value (read-only)

inline void setFromDecimal(const double dec): Set from a decimal value (XX.YYYYY) in degrees.

inline double getDecimalValue() const: Get the decimal value (XX.YYYYY), in degrees - you can also use the automatic conversion between TCoords and a double.

inline void getDegMinSec(int &degrees, int &minutes, double &seconds) const: Return the Deg Min’ Sec’’ representation of this value.

inline void setDegMinSec(const int degrees, const int minutes, const double seconds): Set the coordinate from its Deg Min’ Deg’’ parts.

inline std::string getAsString() const: Return a std::string in the format “DEGdeg MIN’ SEC’’”

double decimal_value = 0: Also obtained directly through the double(void) operator using a TCoords anywhere were a double is expected.
