% Plots one orbit and the sun vector looking down on the ECI Plane. The input is a set of Kepler elements and a Julian date. It also plots the line of nodes and the line between apogee and perigee, and, optionally, a spin axis located at the beginning of the orbit. Specify a planet name to use SunVectorECI instead of SunV1. Has two built-in demos, one for an Earth orbit and one for Mars. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: h = PltOrbit( el, jD, uSpin, planet ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ el (1,6) Orbital elements [a i W w e M] jD (1,1) Julian date uSpin (3,1) Spin axis (optional) planet (1,:) Planet name (optional) ------- Outputs ------- h (1,1) Figure handle -------------------------------------------------------------------------- See also: SunV1, SunVectorECI, PlotPlanet, AxesCart, Axis3D --------------------------------------------------------------------------
