Enum Constant Detail

DELTA

public static final WalkerConstellation.Pattern DELTA

Delta pattern: ascending nodes distributed over 360°.

STAR

public static final WalkerConstellation.Pattern STAR

Star pattern: ascending nodes distributed over 180°.

Method Detail

values

public static WalkerConstellation.Pattern[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (WalkerConstellation.Pattern c : WalkerConstellation.Pattern.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static WalkerConstellation.Pattern valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getRaanDistribution

public abstract double getRaanDistribution()

Get the RAAN distribution for the pattern.

Returns:

the RAAN distribution for the pattern
