Detailed Description

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; alternatively, the Geodesic::Line method can be used to create a GeodesicLine. GeodesicLine.Position returns the location of point 2 a distance s12 along the geodesic. In addition, GeodesicLine.ArcPosition gives the position of point 2 an arc length a12 along the geodesic.

You can register the position of a reference point 3 a distance (arc length), s13 (a13) along the geodesic with the GeodesicLine.SetDistance (GeodesicLine.SetArc) functions. Points a fractional distance along the line can be found by providing, for example, 0.5 * Distance() as an argument to GeodesicLine.Position. The Geodesic::InverseLine or Geodesic::DirectLine methods return GeodesicLine objects with point 3 set to the point 2 of the corresponding geodesic problem. GeodesicLine objects created with the public constructor or with Geodesic::Line have s13 and a13 set to NaNs.

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

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ mask

enum GeographicLib::GeodesicLine::mask

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.
STANDARD	A combination of the common capabilities: GeodesicLine::LATITUDE, GeodesicLine::LONGITUDE, GeodesicLine::AZIMUTH, GeodesicLine::DISTANCE.
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_UNROLL	Unroll lon2 in the direct calculation.
ALL	All capabilities, calculate everything. (GeodesicLine::LONG_UNROLL is not included in this mask.)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ GeodesicLine() [1/2]

GeographicLib::GeodesicLine::GeodesicLine	(	const Geodesic &	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 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°].

The GeodesicLine::mask values are

caps |= GeodesicLine::LATITUDE for the latitude lat2; this is added automatically;
caps |= GeodesicLine::LONGITUDE for the latitude lon2;
caps |= GeodesicLine::AZIMUTH for the latitude azi2; this is added automatically;
caps |= GeodesicLine::DISTANCE for the distance s12;
caps |= GeodesicLine::REDUCEDLENGTH for the reduced length m12;
caps |= GeodesicLine::GEODESICSCALE for the geodesic scales M12 and M21;
caps |= GeodesicLine::AREA for the area S12;
caps |= GeodesicLine::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 |= GeodesicLine::ALL for all of the above.

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+.

◆ GeodesicLine() [2/2]

GeographicLib::GeodesicLine::GeodesicLine ( )

inline

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.

◆ Position() [1/6]

Math::real GeographicLib::GeodesicLine::Position	(	real	s12,
		real &	lat2,
		real &	lon2,
		real &	azi2,
		real &	m12,
		real &	M12,
		real &	M21,
		real &	S12
	)		const

inline

Compute the position of point 2 which is a distance s12 (meters) from point 1.

Parameters

[in]	s12	distance from point 1 to 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.

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 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.

	)		const

The general position function. GeodesicLine::Position and GeodesicLine::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 GeodesicLine object must have been constructed with caps \|= GeodesicLine::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 negative.
[in]	outmask	a bitor'ed combination of GeodesicLine::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 GeodesicLine object was constructed with caps \|= GeodesicLine::LONGITUDE.
[out]	azi2	(forward) azimuth at point 2 (degrees).
[out]	s12	distance from point 1 to point 2 (meters); requires that the GeodesicLine object was constructed with caps \|= GeodesicLine::DISTANCE.
[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.

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

The GeodesicLine::mask values possible for outmask are

outmask |= GeodesicLine::LATITUDE for the latitude lat2;
outmask |= GeodesicLine::LONGITUDE for the latitude lon2;
outmask |= GeodesicLine::AZIMUTH for the latitude azi2;
outmask |= GeodesicLine::DISTANCE for the distance s12;
outmask |= GeodesicLine::REDUCEDLENGTH for the reduced length m12;
outmask |= GeodesicLine::GEODESICSCALE for the geodesic scales M12 and M21;
outmask |= GeodesicLine::AREA for the area S12;
outmask |= GeodesicLine::ALL for all of the above;
outmask |= GeodesicLine::LONG_UNROLL to unroll lon2 instead of reducing it into the range [−180°, 180°].

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 GeodesicLine::LONG_UNROLL bit set, the quantity lon2 − lon1 indicates how many times and in what sense the geodesic encircles the ellipsoid.
