Detailed Description

An exact geodesic line.

GeodesicLineExact facilitates the determination of a series of points on a single geodesic. This is a companion to the GeodesicExact class. For additional information on this class see the documentation on the GeodesicLine class.

Example of use:

// Example of using the GeographicLib::GeodesicLineExact class
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <exception>
#include <cmath>
#include <GeographicLib/GeodesicExact.hpp>

#include <GeographicLib/Constants.hpp>
using namespace std;
using namespace GeographicLib;
int main() {
  try {
    // Print waypoints between JFK and SIN
    GeodesicExact geod(Constants::WGS84_a(), Constants::WGS84_f());
    // Alternatively: const GeodesicExact& geod = GeodesicExact::WGS84();
    double
      lat1 = 40.640, lon1 = -73.779, // JFK
      lat2 =  1.359, lon2 = 103.989; // SIN
    const GeographicLib::GeodesicLineExact line =
      geod.InverseLine(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2);
    double ds0 = 500e3;             // Nominal distance between points = 500 km
    int num = int(ceil(line.Distance() / ds0)); // The number of intervals
    cout << fixed << setprecision(3);
    {
      // Use intervals of equal length
      double ds = line.Distance() / num;
      for (int i = 0; i <= num; ++i) {
        double lat, lon;
       line.Position(i * ds, lat, lon);
       cout << i << " " << lat << " " << lon << "\n";
      }
    }
    {
      // Slightly faster, use intervals of equal arc length

       line.ArcPosition(i * da, lat, lon);

    }
  }

enum GeographicLib::GeodesicLineExact::mask

Bit masks for what calculations to do. They signify to the GeodesicLineExact::GeodesicLineExact constructor and to GeodesicExact::Line what capabilities should be included in the GeodesicLineExact object. This is merely a duplication of GeodesicExact::mask.

Enumerator
NONE	No capabilities, no output.
LATITUDE	Calculate latitude lat2. (It's not necessary to include this as a capability to GeodesicLineExact because this is included by default.)

GEODESICSCALE	Calculate geodesic scales M12 and M21.
AREA	Calculate area S12.
LONG_UNROLL	Unroll lon2 in the direct calculation.

◆ GeodesicLineExact() [2/3]

GeographicLib::GeodesicLineExact::GeodesicLineExact	(	const GeodesicExact &	g,
		real	lat1,
		real	lon1,
		real	azi1,
		unsigned	caps = `ALL`
	)

Constructor for a geodesic line staring at latitude lat1, longitude lon1, and azimuth azi1 (all in degrees).

Parameters

[in]	g	A GeodesicExact object used to compute the necessary information about the GeodesicLineExact.
[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 GeodesicLineExact::mask values specifying the capabilities the GeodesicLineExact object should possess, i.e., which quantities can be returned in calls to GeodesicLine::Position.

lat1 should be in the range [−90°, 90°].

The GeodesicLineExact::mask values are

caps |= GeodesicLineExact::LATITUDE for the latitude lat2; this is added automatically;
caps |= GeodesicLineExact::LONGITUDE for the latitude lon2;
caps |= GeodesicLineExact::AZIMUTH for the latitude azi2; this is added automatically;
caps |= GeodesicLineExact::DISTANCE for the distance s12;
caps |= GeodesicLineExact::REDUCEDLENGTH for the reduced length m12;
caps |= GeodesicLineExact::GEODESICSCALE for the geodesic scales M12 and M21;
caps |= GeodesicLineExact::AREA for the area S12;
caps |= GeodesicLineExact::DISTANCE_IN permits the length of the geodesic to be given in terms of s12; without this capability the length can only be specified in terms of arc length;
caps |= GeodesicLineExact::ALL for all of the above.

The default value of caps is GeodesicLineExact::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+.

Definition at line 118 of file src/GeodesicLineExact.cpp.

◆ GeodesicLineExact() [3/3]

GeographicLib::GeodesicLineExact::GeodesicLineExact ( )

inline

	)		const

The general position function. GeodesicLineExact::Position and GeodesicLineExact::ArcPosition are defined in terms of this function.

Parameters

[in]	arcmode	boolean flag determining the meaning of the second parameter; if arcmode is false, then the GeodesicLineExact object must have been constructed with caps \|= GeodesicLineExact::DISTANCE_IN.
[in]	s12_a12	if arcmode is false, this is the distance between point 1 and point 2 (meters); otherwise it is the arc length between point 1 and point 2 (degrees); it can be signed.
[in]	outmask	a bitor'ed combination of GeodesicLineExact::mask values specifying which of the following parameters should be set.
[out]	lat2	latitude of point 2 (degrees).
[out]	lon2	longitude of point 2 (degrees); requires that the GeodesicLineExact object was constructed with caps \|= GeodesicLineExact::LONGITUDE.

[out]	m12	reduced length of geodesic (meters); requires that the GeodesicLineExact object was constructed with caps \|= GeodesicLineExact::REDUCEDLENGTH.

[out]	M21	geodesic scale of point 1 relative to point 2 (dimensionless); requires that the GeodesicLineExact object was constructed with caps \|= GeodesicLineExact::GEODESICSCALE.
[out]	S12	area under the geodesic (meters²); requires that the GeodesicLineExact object was constructed with caps \|= GeodesicLineExact::AREA.

Returns: a12 arc length from point 1 to point 2 (degrees).

The GeodesicLineExact::mask values possible for outmask are

outmask |= GeodesicLineExact::LATITUDE for the latitude lat2;

outmask |= GeodesicLineExact::DISTANCE for the distance s12;
outmask |= GeodesicLineExact::REDUCEDLENGTH for the reduced length m12;
outmask |= GeodesicLineExact::GEODESICSCALE for the geodesic scales M12 and M21;

outmask |= GeodesicLineExact::LONG_UNROLL to unroll lon2 instead of wrapping it into the range [−180°, 180°].

Requesting a value which the GeodesicLineExact 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 GeodesicLineExact::LONG_UNROLL bit set, the quantity lon2 − lon1 indicates how many times and in what sense the geodesic encircles the ellipsoid.

Parameters

[in]	s13_a13	if arcmode is false, this is the distance from point 1 to point 3 (meters); otherwise it is the arc length from point 1 to point 3 (degrees); it can be negative.

[out]	S12	area under the geodesic (meters²); requires that the GeodesicLineExact object was constructed with caps \|= GeodesicLineExact::AREA.

Returns: a12 arc length from point 1 to point 2 (degrees).

The values of lon2 and azi2 returned are in the range [−180°, 180°].

The GeodesicLineExact object must have been constructed with caps |= GeodesicLineExact::DISTANCE_IN; otherwise Math::NaN() is returned and no parameters are set.

◆ SetArc()

void GeographicLib::GeodesicLineExact::SetArc ( real a13 )

Specify position of point 3 in terms of arc length.

Parameters

[in] a13 the arc length from point 1 to point 3 (degrees); it can be negative.

The distance s13 is only set if the GeodesicLineExact object has been constructed with caps |= GeodesicLineExact::DISTANCE.

Definition at line 277 of file src/GeodesicLineExact.cpp.

◆ SetDistance()

void GeographicLib::GeodesicLineExact::SetDistance ( real s13 )

Specify position of point 3 in terms of distance.

Parameters

[in] s13 the distance from point 1 to point 3 (meters); it can be negative.

This is only useful if the GeodesicLineExact object has been constructed with caps |= GeodesicLineExact::DISTANCE_IN.
