GetAimingAngles

This method returns the calculated angle between two specified 3D-coordinate. The two points are defined with X, Y coordinates, and Elevation relative to the terrain database vertical datum base ellipsoid (absolute height). The return doubleYaw and doublePitch values define the pitch and yaw angles for viewing the second point from the first.

Parameters:

• X1 – X coordinate of first point.

• Y1 – Y coordinate of first point.

• Elevation1 – Elevation value relative to the terrain database vertical datum base ellipsoid (absolute height), of the first point.

• X2 – X coordinate of second point.

• Y2 – Y coordinate of second point.

• Elevation2 – Elevation value relative to the terrain database vertical datum base ellipsoid (absolute height) of the second point.

• doubleYaw – Returns the yaw angle for viewing the second point from the first.

• doublePitch – Returns the pitch angle for viewing the second point from the first.

Return Values:

The return value obtained from the returned HRESULT can be one of the following:
