Detailed Description

Draw great circle arcs in the fast preview.

A great circle is the spherical equivalent of a straight line, but is often drawn curved, depending on the start and end positions and the projection.

void GreatCircles::drawLineFromSpherical	(	double	startLat,
		double	startLong,
		double	endLat,
		double	endLong,
		double	width = `1.0`,
		bool	straightLine = `false`
	)

Draw the shortest segment of the great circle crossing two spherical coordinates.

Actually, the line is approximated since OpenGL doesn't do curves.

Preconditions: The OpenGL state must be ready to draw lines the required width and colour, and outside of a glBegin/glEnd pair. setViewStatePtr must have been called with a valid (and still valid9 ViewState pointer to the ViewState used by the preview.

Parameters

startLat	latitude of the first point in degrees.
startLong	longitude of the first point in degrees.
endLat	latitude of the second point in degrees.
endLong	longitude of the second point in degrees.
width	width of the line in pixels.
straightLine	if false a great circle is drawn, otherwise a straight line in 2D
