How to Retrieve an vgObject's WCS Position

 

Vega Code Example

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

This example function illustrates :

  • How to get the position of a vgObject in Wold coordinates
  • How to get the just the X, Y,  Z coordinates of a vgObject
  • How to get the just  H, P, R coordinates of a vgObject
  • How to get the X,Y, Z,H,P,R coordinates of a vgObject
  • How to use vgDelete
  • How create a vgPos instance
  • How to delete a vgPos instance
  • How to get the vgObject position with vpGetPos
