"""Define the :class:`~geographiclib.geodesicline.GeodesicLine` class
 
The constructor defines the starting point of the line.  Points on the
line are given by
 
  * :meth:`~geographiclib.geodesicline.GeodesicLine.Position` position
    given in terms of distance
  * :meth:`~geographiclib.geodesicline.GeodesicLine.ArcPosition` position
    given in terms of spherical arc length
 
A reference point 3 can be defined with
 
  * :meth:`~geographiclib.geodesicline.GeodesicLine.SetDistance` set
    position of 3 in terms of the distance from the starting point
  * :meth:`~geographiclib.geodesicline.GeodesicLine.SetArc` set
    position of 3 in terms of the spherical arc length from the starting point
 
The object can also be constructed by
 
  * :meth:`Geodesic.Line <geographiclib.geodesic.Geodesic.Line>`
  * :meth:`Geodesic.DirectLine <geographiclib.geodesic.Geodesic.DirectLine>`
  * :meth:`Geodesic.ArcDirectLine
