                              Los

A Line-Of-Sight (LOS) from a `LatLon` or `Cartesian` location.

Method Details

### __init__ (self, azimuth_aer, elevation=0, name='') (Constructor) |
New Los. Arguments: `azimuth_aer` - Scalar azimuth, bearing from North (compass `degrees`) or a previous instance (Aer, Aer4Tuple, Enu, Enu4Tuple or Los). `elevation` - Scalar angle above the horizon (`degrees`, horizon is 0, zenith +90, nadir -90), only used with scalar `azimuth_aer`. `name` - Optional name (`str`). Raises: `TypeError` - Invalid `azimuth_aer`. `UnitError` - Invalid `azimuth_aer` or `elevation`. Overrides: object.__init__

### toUvw (self, location, Uvw=<class 'pygeodesy.ltpTuples.Uvw'>, **Uvw_kwds) |
Get this LOS' target (UVW) components from a location. Arguments: `location` - The geodetic (`LatLon`) or geocentric (`Cartesian`, Vector3d) location from where to cast the Los. See Also: Method Enu.toUvw for further details.

### toEnu (self, Enu=<class 'pygeodesy.ltpTuples.Enu'>, **Enu_kwds) |
Get this LOS as East, North, Up (ENU) components. Arguments: `Enu` - Class to return ENU (Enu) or `None`. `Enu_kwds` - Optional, additional Enu keyword arguments, ignored if `Enu is None`. Returns: ENU as an Enu instance or if `Enu is None`, an Enu4Tuple`(east, north, up, ltp)`. Overrides: _NamedAerNed.toEnu See Also: Method Aer.toEnu for further details.
