                      GeodesicAreaExact

Known Subclasses:
  - PolygonArea

Area and perimeter of a geodesic polygon, an enhanced version of Karney's Python class PolygonArea using the more accurate surface area.

Note: The name of this class `*Exact` is a misnomer, see Karney's comments at C++ attribute GeodesicExact._c2.

Method Details

### __init__ (self, geodesic, polyline=False, name='') (Constructor) |
New GeodesicAreaExact instance. Arguments: `geodesic` - A geodesic (GeodesicExact, wrapped `Geodesic` or GeodesicSolve). `polyline` - If `True` compute perimeter only, otherwise area and perimeter (`bool`). `name` - Optional name (`str`). Raises: `GeodesicError` - Invalid `geodesic`. Overrides: object.__init__

### AddEdge (self, azi, s) |
Add another polygon edge. Arguments: `azi` - Azimuth at the current point (compass `degrees`). `s` - Length of the edge (`meter`).

### AddPoint (self, lat, lon) |
Add another polygon point. Arguments: `lat` - Latitude of the point (`degrees`). `lon` - Longitude of the point (`degrees`).

### Compute (self, reverse=False, sign=True) |
Compute the accumulated perimeter and area. Arguments: `reverse` - If `True`, clockwise traversal counts as a positive area instead of counter-clockwise (`bool`). `sign` - If `True`, return a signed result for the area if the polygon is traversed in the "wrong" direction instead of returning the area for the rest of the earth. Returns: 3-Tuple `(number, perimeter (meter), area (meter*2))`. The `perimeter` includes the length of a final edge, connecting the current to the initial point, if this polygon was initialized with `polyline=False`. And `area=NAN` for perimeter only, `polyline=True`. Notes: Arbitrarily complex polygons are allowed. In the case of self-intersecting polygons, the area is accumulated "algebraically". E.g., the areas of the 2 loops in a figure-8 polygon will partially cancel. More points and edges can be added after this call.

### TestEdge (self, azi, s, reverse=False, sign=True) |
Compute the properties for a tentative, additional edge Arguments: `azi` - Azimuth at the current the point (compass `degrees`). `s` - Length of the edge (`meter`). `reverse` - If `True`, clockwise traversal counts as a positive area instead of counter-clockwise (`bool`). `sign` - If `True`, return a signed result for the area if the polygon is traversed in the "wrong" direction instead of returning the area for the rest of the earth. Returns: 3-Tuple `(number, perimeter (meter), area (meter*2))`. Raises: `GeodesicError` - No points.

### TestPoint (self, lat, lon, reverse=False, sign=True) |
Compute the properties for a tentative, additional vertex Arguments: `lat` - Latitude of the point (`degrees`). `lon` - Longitude of the point (`degrees`). `reverse` - If `True`, clockwise traversal counts as a positive area instead of counter-clockwise (`bool`). `sign` - If `True`, return a signed result for the area if the polygon is traversed in the "wrong" direction instead of returning the area for the rest of the earth. Returns: 3-Tuple `(number, perimeter (meter), area (meter*2))`.

### toStr (self, prec=6, sep=', ', **unused) |
Return this `GeodesicExactArea` as string. Arguments: `prec` - The `float` precision, number of decimal digits (0..9). Trailing zero decimals are stripped for `prec` values of 1 and above, but kept for negative `prec` values. `sep` - Optional separator to join (`str`). Returns: Area items (`str`). Overrides: named._Named.toStr
