# Python def GisSunPosition( self _ptg: tatukgis.pdk.TGIS_Point _local_time: TDateTime _utc_offset: float _altitude: VarParameter _azimuth: VarParameter ) -> None:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
_ptg | tatukgis.pdk.TGIS_Point | observer's location in geographic coordinate system expressed in radians |
_local_time | TDateTime | observer's local time |
_utc_offset | float | time difference in hours between UTC and local time for a particular place and date; Daylight Saving Time must be taken into account. |
_altitude | float | angular height in radians of the sun in the sky measured from the horizontal; values from 0 at sunrise and sunset to 90 at solar noon (also known as an elevation angle) |
_azimuth | float | angle in radians in the horizontal plane measured clockwise from north to the horizontal projection of the sun's rays; values from 0 to 2*Pi |
