- /** Add a switching condition between two attitude providers.
- * <p>
- * The {@code past} and {@code future} attitude providers are defined with regard
- * to the natural flow of time. This means that if the propagation is forward, the
- * propagator will switch from {@code past} provider to {@code future} provider at
- * event occurrence, but if the propagation is backward, the propagator will switch
- * from {@code future} provider to {@code past} provider at event occurrence. The
- * transition between the two attitude laws is not instantaneous, the switch event
- * defines the start of the transition (i.e. when leaving the {@code past} attitude
- * law and entering the interpolated transition law). The end of the transition
- * (i.e. when leaving the interpolating transition law and entering the {@code future}
- * attitude law) occurs at switch time plus {@code transitionTime}.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * An attitude provider may have several different switch events associated to
- * it. Depending on which event is triggered, the appropriate provider is
- * switched to.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * If the underlying detector has an event handler associated to it, this handler
- * will be triggered (i.e. its {@link org.orekit.propagation.events.handlers.EventHandler#eventOccurred(SpacecraftState,
- * EventDetector, boolean) eventOccurred} method will be called), <em>regardless</em>
- * of the event really triggering an attitude switch or not. As an example, if an
- * eclipse detector is used to switch from day to night attitude mode when entering
- * eclipse, with {@code switchOnIncrease} set to {@code false} and {@code switchOnDecrease}
- * set to {@code true}. Then a handler set directly at eclipse detector level would
- * be triggered at both eclipse entry and eclipse exit, but attitude switch would
- * occur <em>only</em> at eclipse entry. Note that for the sake of symmetry, the
- * transition start and end dates should match for both forward and backward propagation.
- * This implies that for backward propagation, we have to compensate for the {@code
- * transitionTime} when looking for the event. An unfortunate consequence is that the
- * {@link org.orekit.propagation.events.handlers.EventHandler#eventOccurred(SpacecraftState, EventDetector, boolean)
- * eventOccurred} method may appear to be called out of sync with respect to the
- * propagation (it will be called when propagator reaches transition end, despite it
- * refers to transition start, as per {@code transitionTime} compensation), and if the
- * method returns {@link Action#STOP}, it will stop at the end of the
- * transition instead of at the start. For these reasons, it is not recommended to
- * set up an event handler for events that are used to switch attitude. If an event
- * handler is needed for other purposes, a second handler should be registered to
- * the propagator rather than relying on the side effects of attitude switches.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * The smoothness of the transition between past and future attitude laws can be tuned
- * using the {@code transitionTime} and {@code transitionFilter} parameters. The {@code
- * transitionTime} parameter specifies how much time is spent to switch from one law to
- * the other law. It should be larger than the event {@link EventDetector#getThreshold()
- * convergence threshold} in order to ensure attitude continuity. The {@code
- * transitionFilter} parameter specifies the attitude time derivatives that should match
- * at the boundaries between past attitude law and transition law on one side, and
- * between transition law and future law on the other side.
- * {@link AngularDerivativesFilter#USE_R} means only the rotation should be identical,
- * {@link AngularDerivativesFilter#USE_RR} means both rotation and rotation rate
- * should be identical, {@link AngularDerivativesFilter#USE_RRA} means both rotation,
- * rotation rate and rotation acceleration should be identical. During the transition,
- * the attitude law is computed by interpolating between past attitude law at switch time
- * and future attitude law at current intermediate time.
