new CardinalDirection( [value] [, name] [, azimut])

The enumeration of the four cardinal directions or cardinal points are the directions of north, south, east, and west, commonly denoted by their initials: N, S, E, W.

The four cardinal directions or cardinal points are the directions of north, south, east, and west, commonly denoted by their initials: N, S, E, W. They are mostly used for geographic orientation on Earth but may be calculated anywhere on a rotating astronomical body.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
value number <optional>
 0

The numeric value who define the direction.
name string <optional>

The name of the direction.
azimut number <optional>
 0

The azimut angle.
