mo:EventMotion

A 2D or 3D vector describing the motion of a process or object.

mo:EventMotion holds other objects.

mo:EventMotion can hold any of these following objects, starting with the most specific and becoming more generic as you move down the list:


mo:CourseAngleDegreesMeasure

An angular distance measured in degrees of a direction from a chosen reference direction. The measured and reference directions are located in the horizontal plane, and the value of the angle is positive in a clockwise direction as viewed from "above" the horizontal plane.

Holds other objects.


mo:CourseAngleMeasure

An angular distance of a direction from a chosen reference direction. The measured and reference directions are located in the horizontal plane, and the value of the angle is positive in a clockwise direction as viewed from "above" the horizontal plane.

Holds other objects.


mo:CourseCode

A designator for the 16 generalized directions (for example: southeast) based on the compass rose.

Holds text.


mo:CourseValue

A direction of horizontal motion with respect to true north, measured in degrees.

Holds numbers.


mo:ElevationMeasure

A height above a fixed reference point, most commonly a reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface.

Holds other objects.


mo:AltitudeMeasure

A vertical elevation of an object above a surface (as sea level or land) of a planet or natural satellite.

Holds other objects.


mo:SlopeValue

A direction of vertical motion, measured in degrees; -90 indicates motion toward the center of the Earth.

Holds numbers.


nc:SpeedMeasure

A measure of a speed or rate of motion.

Holds other objects.
