## 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.

## Member Enumeration Documentation

## ◆ mask

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.)
LONGITUDE | Calculate longitude lon2.
AZIMUTH | Calculate azimuths azi1 and azi2. (It's not necessary to include this as a capability to GeodesicLineExact because this is included by default.)
DISTANCE | Calculate distance s12.
STANDARD | A combination of the common capabilities: GeodesicLineExact::LATITUDE, GeodesicLineExact::LONGITUDE, GeodesicLineExact::AZIMUTH, GeodesicLineExact::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. (LONG_UNROLL is not included in this mask.)

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ GeodesicLineExact() [1/2]

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+.

## ◆ GeodesicLineExact() [2/2]

GeographicLib::GeodesicLineExact::GeodesicLineExact | ( |  | ) |
| inline

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

Definition at line 217 of file GeodesicLineExact.hpp.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ Position() [1/6]

Math::real GeographicLib::GeodesicLineExact::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 signed.
  [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] | azi2 | (forward) azimuth at point 2 (degrees).
  [out] | m12 | reduced length of geodesic (meters); requires that the GeodesicLineExact object was constructed with caps |= GeodesicLineExact::REDUCEDLENGTH.
  [out] | M12 | geodesic scale of point 2 relative to point 1 (dimensionless); requires that the GeodesicLineExact object was constructed with caps |= GeodesicLineExact::GEODESICSCALE.
  [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 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. Requesting a value which the GeodesicLineExact object is not capable of computing is not an error; the corresponding argument will not be altered.

The following functions are overloaded versions of GeodesicLineExact::Position which omit some of the output parameters. Note, however, that the arc length is always computed and returned as the function value.

Math::real GeographicLib::GeodesicLineExact::GenPosition | ( | bool | arcmode,
|  | real | s12_a12,
|  | unsigned | outmask,
|  | real & | lat2,
|  | real & | lon2,

|  | real & | s12,
|  | real & | m12,
|  | real & | M12,
|  | real & | M21,
|  | real & | S12 ) 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] | azi2 | (forward) azimuth at point 2 (degrees).
  [out] | s12 | distance from point 1 to point 2 (meters); requires that the GeodesicLineExact object was constructed with caps |= GeodesicLineExact::DISTANCE.
  [out] | m12 | reduced length of geodesic (meters); requires that the GeodesicLineExact object was constructed with caps |= GeodesicLineExact::REDUCEDLENGTH.
  [out] | M12 | geodesic scale of point 2 relative to point 1 (dimensionless); requires that the GeodesicLineExact object was constructed with caps |= GeodesicLineExact::GEODESICSCALE.
  [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::LONGITUDE for the latitude lon2;
- outmask |= GeodesicLineExact::AZIMUTH for the latitude azi2;
- 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::AREA for the area S12;
- outmask |= GeodesicLineExact::ALL for all of the above;
- 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.
