Functions

Reads a series of geocentric points from a text file and returns a table of Location3D objects representing each point. Only one point is expected per line. This function is designed to work with the geocentric values printed by DtVector::string() in VR-Forces:
{ 1339076.331, -4652336.450, 4138579.354}Other formats of geocentric coordinates will also work, as it simply takes the first 3 decimal values found on the line.Parameters:
