Units of measure of Camera.altitude #6

Open spyhunter99 opened 8 years ago

spyhunter99 commented 8 years ago

In the class Camera, there's an altitude field which I assume represents the altitude of the view/camera over the globe instance. There's really no javadocs on it. Is this in meters? kilometers? or something else?

The Camera's altitude field represents eye altitude in meters above the ellipsoid. In World Wind, all Cartesian units are in meters. You're right that the Javadocs should clarify this.
