Description
It is often useful to overlay parallel and meridian lines when working with information mapped onto a spherical body. The GISGrid module will produce parallel and meridian lines in a mesh field consisting of latitude, longitude, and altitude coordinates. You can set the parallel and meridian increments via the parameters.
Note: GISGrid does not produce labelled parallel and meridian grid lines.
Input
westLongitude
The bounding longitude on the western side of the generated grid.
eastLongitude
The bounding longitude on the eastern side of the generated grid.
northLatitude
The bounding latitude on the northern side of the generated grid.
southLatitude
The bounding latitude on the southern side of the generated grid.
Parameters
parallelIncrement
The number of steps (in degrees) to place the parallels in the generated grid.
meridianIncrements
The number of steps (in degrees) to place the generated meridians.
Output Port
outLLA
A mesh containing the vertices and line segments of the generated grid of parallel and meridians.
Note: The "units" field is set to "Decimal Degrees" by default.
