prolate_spheroid: Creates a prolate spheroid.

In brandynlucca/acousticTS: Estimating acoustic target strength via physics-based scattering models

Creates a prolate spheroid.

Description

Creates a prolate spheroid.

Usage

prolate_spheroid(
  length_body,
  radius_body,
  length_radius_ratio = NULL,
  n_segments = 18,
  length_units = "m",
  theta_units = "radians"
)

Arguments

length_body	Semi-major axis length (m).
radius_body	Semi-minor axis length (m). This can also be stylized as the "maximum radius" of the scattering object.
length_radius_ratio	Optional ratio input when radius is not explicitly known.
n_segments	Number of segments to discretize object shape. Defaults to 18 segments.
length_units	Units for body matrix (defaults to m).
theta_units	Units for body orientation (defaults to radians).

Value

Creates the position vector for a prolate spheroid object of defined semi-major and -minor axes.
