EllipticalOrbit solver in scripts

Post #1by ajtribick » 04.01.2009, 10:35

Is it possible to access the EllipticalOrbit position calculator in scripts? This would potentially be a very useful function to have available in ScriptedOrbits.

It's not possible now, but I agree that it's a very good idea. It could be the first function in an astronomical math package for celx.
