Intersect SurfaceEllipse with another NASA Worldwind

Question

I have here an Renderable Layer with a bunch of SurfaceEllipses on it. Now I want to intersect each ellipse with all of the other.

As far as i know, there isn't such a method in WorldWind. But, is there any way to get the intersection of the borders?

Answer 1

Sad Answer: not possible. Sigh.

Answer 2

AbstractSurfaceShape objects have assessor methods for their Sector objects. Sectors have several different comparison methods including intersects.

A Sector comparison of your SurfaceEllipses will get you a great first pass. After that ray intersects can get you the point of intersection.
