Description

This method returns the closest object (ppObject) hit by the line of sight from the observer location in the window coordinates xView, yView in the viewer, pViewer.

ppPoint is a point representing the hit location coordinates.

If bGetTransformed is True, it indicates that the returned coordinates must be in the internal geocentric coordinate system. If bGetTransformed = False, the returned hit point coordinates are in the Globe Spatial Reference: longitude, latitude and altitude are in kilometers.

If bGetEmptyGlobe is True, a hit will be added for the base globe surface, even if it doesn't contain any layer.
