Dear all,
I'm working with the Observability plugin and it is now a bit more
complete. The algorithm to solve for the Moon and planets "observability"
is almost finished.
Now, the "only" remaining problem that I still have is to access the
planets ephemeris (i.e., to obtain planets positions for any given Julian
date).
As far as I understand from the code, the functions like "computePosition",
update directly the planets data, but don't return the actual positions.
Hence, I was thinking of creating a new planet class that inherits from the
original one and implements such a thing. Then, the plugin would create an
instance of this new class from the currently selected planet. Do you think
that there is a better approach do obtain any planet position at any Julian
Date, without updating the actual planet position?
I have also taken a look to the "Orbit" data, but I would need the dates to
run from Jan 1 to Dec 31 (of current simulation year), so I can't take
advantage from it.
Thank you all in advance for your kind help!
Ivan
