Package pygeodesy :: Module karney |

# Module karney

Wrapper around several `geomath.Math` functions from Karney's Python package geographiclib, provided that package is installed.

The wrapped class methods return a GDict instance offering access to the `dict` items either by `key` or by `attribute` name. All methods of the wrapped Geodesic and GeodesicLine classes return a GDict instance offering access to the `dict` items either by `key` or by `attribute` name.

With env variable `PYGEODESY_GEOGRAPHICLIB` left undefined or set to `"2"`, modules geodesicx, geodesicw and this module will use GeographicLib 2.0 and newer transcoding, otherwise `1.52` or older.

Variables Details

  ### Caps Enum-style masks to be bit-`or`'ed to specify geodesic or rhumb capabilities (`caps`) and expected results (`outmask`). `AREA` - compute area `S12`, `AZIMUTH` - include azimuths `azi1` and `azi2`, `DISTANCE` - compute distance `s12`, `DISTANCE_IN` - allow distance `s12` in `.Direct`, `EMPTY` - nothing, formerly aka `NONE`, `GEODESICSCALE` - compute geodesic scales `M12` and `M21`, `LATITUDE` - compute latitude `lat2`, `LINE_OFF` - Line without updates from parent geodesic or rhumb. `LONGITUDE` - compute longitude `lon2`, `LONG_UNROLL` - unroll `lon2` in `.Direct`, `REDUCEDLENGTH` - compute reduced length `m12`, `REVERSE2` - reverse `azi2`, and `ALL` - all of the above. `STANDARD` = `AZIMUTH | DISTANCE | DISTANCE_IN | LATITUDE | LONGITUDE` Value:
