GetPosition

This method retrieves the following parameters, which define the camera’s position and orientation.

HRESULT GetPosition(

[out] VARIANT* doubleX,

[out] VARIANT* doubleY,

[out] VARIANT* doubleHeight,

Parameters:

• doubleX – The West-East coordinate of the camera position represented in MPT units. You can use the ITerrain interface to retrieve information about the MPT units. If you are working in a Lat-Long format, the Lat-Long values are presented in decimal degrees.

• doubleY – The North-South coordinate of the camera position represented in MPT units. You can use the ITerrain interface to retrieve information about the MPT units. If you are working in a Lat-Long format, the Lat-Long values are presented in decimal degrees.

• doubleHeight – The height of the camera, in meters above the ground.

• doubleYaw – The Yaw angle of the plane. See: “Yaw, Pitch and Roll Angles”.

• doublePitch – The Pitch angle of the plane. See: “Yaw, Pitch and Roll Angles”.

• doubleRoll – The Roll angle of the plane. See: “Yaw, Pitch and Roll Angles”.

• doubleCameraDeltaYaw – The offset between the plane yaw and the camera yaw. See: “Camera and Plane”.

• doubleCameraDeltaPitch – The offset between the plane pitch and the camera pitch.
  See: “Camera and Plane”.
