CoordinateTransform.Init() Method

Initializes the transformation for the given geodetic latitude and sidereal time.

Syntax

CoordinateTransform.Init(Latitude, SiderealTime)

The method syntax has these parts:

Part Description
Latitude (Double) geodetic latitude for the transformation, degrees, positive north
SiderealTime (Double) local sidereal time for the transformation, hours
Return (Nothing) Does not return a value.

Remarks

Updates the transformation for a new set of latitude and sidereal time parameters. No recalculation is performed since it is indeterminate which coordinates (equatorial or topocentric) are the dependent versus the independent variables. You must set one of the coordinate properties to force a recalculation. You can set a property to its current value to do this.
