GEOD2CART Convert geodesic coordinates to cartesian coord. PT2 = geod2cart(PT1, CURVE, NORMAL) CURVE and NORMAL are both [N*2] array with the same length, and represent positions of the curve, and normal to each point. PT1 is the point to transform, in geodesic coordinate (first coord is distance from the curve start, and second coord is distance between point and curve). The function return the coordinate of PT1 in the same coordinate system than for the curve. TODO : add processing of points not projected on the curve. -> use the closest end See also polylines2d, cart2geod, curveLength --------- author : David Legland INRA - TPV URPOI - BIA IMASTE created the 08/04/2004.
