GeoEllipsoidData


Unit:SDL_geobasics
Class:none
Declaration: GeoEllipsoidData: array[TGeoEllipsoid, 1..2] of double = ....

The constant array GeoEllipsoidData contains common reference ellipsoids used in various maps. The reference ellipsoids are defined by their semimajor (first column of the array) and semiminor axes (second column). Currently the following ellipsoids are defined:

Hint: Sometimes the definition of the reference ellipsoids in the literature is given by the semimajor axis and the reciprocal flattening of the ellipsoids. You can easily calculate the reciprocal flattening by using the RecipFlattening function (version [1]).
