class | Geodesic |
A geodesic line.
GeodesicLine facilitates the determination of a series of points on a single geodesic. The starting point (lat1, lon1) and the azimuth azi1 are specified in the constructor. GeodesicLine.Position returns the location of point 2 a distance s12 along the geodesic. Alternatively GeodesicLine.ArcPosition gives the position of point 2 an arc length a12 along the geodesic.
The default copy constructor and assignment operators work with this class. Similarly, a vector can be used to hold GeodesicLine objects.
The calculations are accurate to better than 15 nm (15 nanometers). See Sec. 9 of arXiv:1102.1215v1 for details. The algorithms used by this class are based on series expansions using the flattening f as a small parameter. These are only accurate for |f| < 0.02; however reasonably accurate results will be obtained for |f| < 0.2. For very eccentric ellipsoids, use GeodesicLineExact instead.
The algorithms are described in
For more information on geodesics see Geodesics on an ellipsoid of revolution.
Example of use:
GeodSolve is a command-line utility providing access to the functionality of Geodesic and GeodesicLine.

Bit masks for what calculations to do. They signify to the GeodesicLine::GeodesicLine constructor and to Geodesic::Line what capabilities should be included in the GeodesicLine object. This is merely a duplication of Geodesic::mask.
Enumerator | |
---|---|
NONE |
No capabilities, no output. |
LATITUDE |
Calculate latitude lat2. (It's not necessary to include this as a capability to GeodesicLine because this is included by default.) |
LONGITUDE |
Calculate longitude lon2. |
AZIMUTH |
Calculate azimuths azi1 and azi2. (It's not necessary to include this as a capability to GeodesicLine because this is included by default.) |
DISTANCE |
Calculate distance s12. |
DISTANCE_IN |
Allow distance s12 to be used as input in the direct geodesic problem. |
REDUCEDLENGTH |
Calculate reduced length m12. |
GEODESICSCALE |
Calculate geodesic scales M12 and M21. |
AREA |
Calculate area S12. |
LONG_NOWRAP |
Do not wrap lon2 in the direct calculation. |
ALL |
All capabilities, calculate everything. (LONG_NOWRAP is not included in this mask.) |

Constructor for a geodesic line staring at latitude lat1, longitude lon1, and azimuth azi1 (all in degrees).
[in] | g | A Geodesic object used to compute the necessary information about the GeodesicLine. |
[in] | lat1 | latitude of point 1 (degrees). |
[in] | lon1 | longitude of point 1 (degrees). |
[in] | azi1 | azimuth at point 1 (degrees). |
[in] | caps | bitor'ed combination of GeodesicLine::mask values specifying the capabilities the GeodesicLine object should possess, i.e., which quantities can be returned in calls to GeodesicLine::Position. |
lat1 should be in the range [−90°, 90°]; lon1 and azi1 should be in the range [−540°, 540°).
The GeodesicLine::mask values are
The default value of caps is GeodesicLine::ALL.
If the point is at a pole, the azimuth is defined by keeping lon1 fixed, writing lat1 = ±(90° − ε), and taking the limit ε → 0+.

A default constructor. If GeodesicLine::Position is called on the resulting object, it returns immediately (without doing any calculations). The object can be set with a call to Geodesic::Line. Use Init() to test whether object is still in this uninitialized state.

Compute the position of point 2 which is a distance s12 (meters) from point 1.
[in] | s12 | distance between point 1 and point 2 (meters); it can be negative. |
[out] | lat2 | latitude of point 2 (degrees). |
[out] | lon2 | longitude of point 2 (degrees); requires that the GeodesicLine object was constructed with caps |= GeodesicLine::LONGITUDE. |
[out] | azi2 | (forward) azimuth at point 2 (degrees). |
[out] | m12 | reduced length of geodesic (meters); requires that the GeodesicLine object was constructed with caps |= GeodesicLine::REDUCEDLENGTH. |
[out] | M12 | geodesic scale of point 2 relative to point 1 (dimensionless); requires that the GeodesicLine object was constructed with caps |= GeodesicLine::GEODESICSCALE. |
[out] | M21 | geodesic scale of point 1 relative to point 2 (dimensionless); requires that the GeodesicLine object was constructed with caps |= GeodesicLine::GEODESICSCALE. |
[out] | S12 | area under the geodesic (meters2); requires that the GeodesicLine object was constructed with caps |= GeodesicLine::AREA. |
The values of lon2 and azi2 returned are in the range [−180°, 180°).
The GeodesicLine object must have been constructed with caps |= GeodesicLine::DISTANCE_IN; otherwise Math::NaN() is returned and no parameters are set. Requesting a value which the GeodesicLine object is not capable of computing is not an error; the corresponding argument will not be altered.
The following functions are overloaded versions of GeodesicLine::Position which omit some of the output parameters. Note, however, that the arc length is always computed and returned as the function value.

Requesting a value which the GeodesicLine object is not capable of computing is not an error; the corresponding argument will not be altered. Note, however, that the arc length is always computed and returned as the function value.
With the LONG_NOWRAP bit set, the quantity lon2 − lon1 indicates how many times the geodesic wrapped around the ellipsoid. Because lon2 might be outside the normal allowed range for longitudes, [−540°, 540°), be sure to normalize it with Math::AngNormalize2 before using it in other GeographicLib calls.
