Signature:

generatePositionAndOrientation(targetCoords: Coordinates): [GemError, PositionOrientation];

Parameters

Returns:

[GemError, PositionOrientation]

Tuple containing GemError.success on success (otherwise see GemError for other values) and the computed position and orientation.

Exceptions

An exception if it fails.
