# Package pygeodesy

A pure Python implementation of geodesy tools for various ellipsoidal and spherical earth models using precision trigonometric, vector-based, elliptic and approximate methods for geodetic (lat-/longitude) and geocentric (ECEF cartesian) coordinates.

Transcribed from JavaScript originals by Chris Veness (C) 2005-2016 and several C++ classes by Charles Karney (C) 2008-2019 and published under the same MIT License**.

There are three modules for ellipsoidal earth models, `ellipsoidalKarney`, `-Vincenty` and `-Nvector` and two for spherical ones, `sphericalTrigonometry` and `-Nvector`. Each module provides a geodetic `LatLon` and a geocentric `Cartesian` class with methods and functions to compute distance, initial and final bearing, intermediate and nearest points, area, perimeter, conversions and unrolling, among other things. For more information and further details see the documentation, the descriptions of Latitude/Longitude, Vincenty and Vector-based geodesy, the original JavaScript source or docs and the Python GeographicLib.

Also included are modules for conversions to and from Cassini-Soldner, ECEF (Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed cartesian), UPS (Universal Polar Stereographic), UTM (Exact and Universal Transverse Mercator) and Web Mercator (Pseudo-Mercator) coordinates, MGRS (NATO Military Grid Reference System) and OSGR (British Ordinance Survery Grid Reference) grid references, TRF (Terrestrial Reference Frames) and modules to encode and decode EPSG, Geohashes, Georefs (WGRS) and Garefs (GARS).

Other modules provide Lambert conformal conic projections and positions (from John P. Snyder, "Map Projections -- A Working Manual", 1987, pp 107-109), functions to clip a path or polygon of `LatLon` points using the Cohen–Sutherland and the Sutherland-Hodgman methods, functions to simplify or linearize a path of `LatLon` points (or a NumPy array), including implementations of the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker the Visvalingam-Whyatt and Reumann-Witkam the algorithms and modified versions of the former. Other classes interpolate the height of `LatLon` points and several `Geoid` models or compute various Fréchet or Hausdorff distances.

# Installation

To install PyGeodesy, type `pip install PyGeodesy` or `easy_install PyGeodesy` in a terminal or command window.

Alternatively, download `PyGeodesy-yy.m.d.zip` from PyPI or GitHub, `unzip` the downloaded file, `cd` to directory `Pygeodesy-yy.m.d` and type `python setup.py install`. To run all PyGeodesy tests, type `python setup.py test` before installation.

Installation of GeographicLib, NumPy and SciPy is optional. However, the former is required for classes CassiniSoldner and Css and function toCss, for module ellipsoidalKarney classes `LatLon` and `Cartesian` and functions `areaOf` and `perimeterOf` and for the HeightIDWkarney interpolator. The latter are needed for the `Geoid...` and `Height...` interpolator classes, except the GeoidKarney and all `HeightIDW...` classes.

# Documentation

In addition to the `pygeodesy` package, the PyGeodesy distribution files contain the tests, the test results (on macOS only) and the complete documentation (generated by Epydoc using command line: `epydoc --html --no-private --no-source --name=PyGeodesy --url=... -v pygeodesy`).

# Tests

The tests have been run with Python 3.8.2, 3.7.6 and 2.7.17 (all with geographiclib 1.50, numpy 1.18.0, 1.17.2 respectively 1.16.5 and scipy 1.4.1, 1.3.1 respectively 1.2.2), with macOS' Python 2.7.16 (without geographiclib, numpy and scipy) and with PyPy 7.3.0 (Python 2.7.13 and 3.6.9), all on macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra and all in 64-bit only. The results of those tests are included in the distribution files.

With Python 3.8.2 and 3.7.6, the tests run with and without `lazy import`.

Test coverage has been measured with coverage 4.5.4 using Python 3.8.2 and 3.7.6 (both with geographiclib 1.50, numpy 1.18.0 respectively 1.17.2 and scipy 1.4.1 respectively 1.3.1) and macOS' Python 2.7.16 (without geographiclib, numpy and scipy). A summary PDF file and a full HMTL report are included in the distribution files.

The tests also ran with Python 2.7.14, 3.5.6, 3.6.3, 3.7.1 and 3.8.0 (and geographiclib 1.49 or 1.50) on Ubuntu 14.04 and with Python 3.7.3 (and geographiclib 1.49 or 1.50) on Debian 9 all in 64-bit only and with Python 2.7.15, 3.6.8, 3.7.2, and 3.8.0 (all with geographiclib 1.49 or 1.50) on Windows Server 2012R2 in both 32- and 64-bit.

A single-File and single-Directory application with `pygeodesy` has been bundled using PyInstaller 3.4 and 64-bit Python 3.7.3 on macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra.

Previously, the tests were run with Python 2.6.9 (and numpy 1.6.2), 2.7.10 (and numpy 1.8.0rc1), 2.7.13, 2.7.14, 2.7.15, 2.7.16 (and numpy 1.13.1, 1.14.0, 1.15.2 or 1.16.2), 3.5.3, 3.6.2, 3.6.3, 3.6.4, 3.6.5, 3.7.0, 3.7.2, 3.7.3, 3.7.4, 3.7.5, 3.8 and 3.8.1, PyPy 6.0.0 (Python 2.7.13 and 3.5.3) and Intel-Python 3.5.3 (and numpy 1.11.3) on MacOS X 10.10 Yosemite, MacOS X 10.11 El Capitan, macOS 10.12 Sierra, macOS 10.13.5 High Sierra, macOS 10.14 Mojave and/or macOS 10.15.3 Catalina, with Pythonista 3.1 on iOS 10.3.3, 11.0.3, 11.1.2 and 11.3 on iPad4, with Pythonista 3.2 (with geographiclib 1.49 or 1.50 and numpy 1.8.0) on iOS 11.4.1, 12.0, 12.2 and 12.3 on iPad4, iPhone6 and/or iPhone10, all in 64-bit only and with 32-bit Python 2.6.6 on Windows XP SP3 and with 32-bit Python 2.7.14 on Windows 10 Pro.

# Notes

All Python source code has been statically checked with PyChecker, PyFlakes, PyCodeStyle (formerly Pep8) and McCabe using Python 2.7.17 and with Flake8 using Python 3.8.1, both in 64-bit on macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra.

Some function and method names differ from the JavaScript version. In such cases documentation tag JS name: shows the original JavaScript name.
