# Module nvector

N-vector base class Nvector and function sumOf.

Pure Python implementation of n-vector-based geodesy tools for ellipsoidal earth models, transcribed from JavaScript originals by (C) Chris Veness 2005-2016 and published under the same MIT Licence**, see Vector-based geodesy.

Version: 18.09.23

Classes
| Nvector Base class for ellipsoidal and spherical Nvector.

Functions
sumOf(nvectors, Vector=<class 'pygeodesy.nvector.Nvector'>, h=None, **kwds) Return the vectorial sum of any number of n-vectors. |

Variables
| NorthPole = `Nvector(0.0, 0.0, 1.0)` North pole (Nvector).
| SouthPole = `Nvector(0.0, 0.0, -1.0)` South pole (Nvector).

Function Details

### sumOf(nvectors, Vector=<class 'pygeodesy.nvector.Nvector'>, h=None, **kwds) |
Return the vectorial sum of any number of n-vectors. Parameters: `nvectors` - Vectors to be added (Nvector[]). `Vector` - Optional class for the vectorial sum (Nvector). `kwds` - Optional, additional Vector keyword argments. `h` - Optional height, overriding the mean height (meter). Returns: Vectorial sum (Vector). Raises: `ValueError` - No nvectors.
