Details

- GeoReposition moves locations and geo primitives using spherical rotations, hence approximately preserving shapes and areas on ellipsoidal geo models.
- Rotations are performed clockwise around the rotation axis.
- The geo data gdata can be a GeoPosition object, a geo entity, a geo primitive or a list of any of them, possibly including graphics directives, that are left unmodified.
- GeoReposition[gdata,{pos,α}] is equivalent to GeoReposition[gdata,{pospos,α}], performing a clockwise rotation of angle α around pos.
- The angle α in GeoReposition[gdata,{…,α}] can be given as a Quantity angle or a number of degrees.
- GeoReposition[rot][gdata] is equivalent to GeoReposition[gdata,rot].
