List of functions and classes (API)#

These are the functions and classes that make up the Boule API.

Ellipsoid(name, semimajor_axis, flattening, ...)

A rotating oblate ellipsoid.

Sphere(name, radius, geocentric_grav_const, ...)

A rotating sphere (zero-flattening ellipsoid).

TriaxialEllipsoid(name, semimajor_axis, ...)

A rotating triaxial ellipsoid.

All available ellipsoids are instances of these classes. See the class documentation for a list their derived physical properties (attributes) and computations/transformations that they can perform (methods).
