# Module rhumbaux

A pure Python version of Karney's C++ classes Rhumb and RhumbLine from GeographicLib version 2.2+.

Class RhumbLine has been enhanced with methods `intersection2` and `nearestOn4` to iteratively find the intersection of two rhumb lines, respectively the nearest point on a rumb line along a geodesic or perpendicular rhumb line.

For more details, see the 2.2 GeographicLib documentation, especially the Class List, the background information on Rhumb lines, utility RhumbSolve and Online rhumb line calculations.

Note: Class AuxDST requires package numpy to be installed, version 1.16 or newer and needed for exact area calculations.

Version: 23.08.20
