Description
Moves multiple 'continents' (which are temporarily or permanently joined) by their midpoints keeping them exactly the same distance from one another so that they behave as a single unit
Usage
1
MoveTogether(centers, pole, angle, EarthRad = 6367.4447)
Arguments
centers
A matix with columns corresponding to continent central positions in degrees. Row 1 for longitude row 2 for latitude. Or a long lat vector for a single continent.
pole
A vector of the long lat of the pole of rotation
angle
The angle of rotation about the pole in degrees
EarthRad
Earth radius in kilometres.
Value
a matix of the new long lat in degrees of the centers of each continent after moving
