                              RhumbAux

Class to solve the direct and inverse rhumb problems, based on Auxiliary Latitudes for accuracy near the poles.

Note: Package numpy must be installed, version 1.16 or later.

Method Details

### __init__ (self, a_earth=Datum(name='WGS84', ellipsoid=Ellipsoids.WGS84, transform=Tran`...`, f=None, exact=True, name='', **TMorder) (Constructor) |
New `RhumbAux`. Arguments: `a_earth` - This rhumb's earth model (Datum, Ellipsoid, Ellipsoid2, a_f2Tuple, 2-tuple `(a, f)`) or the (equatorial) radius (`meter`, conventionally). `f` - The ellipsoid's flattening (`scalar`), iff `a_earth` is `scalar`, ignored otherwise. `exact` - If `True`, use the exact expressions for the Auxiliary Latitudes, otherwise use the Fourier series expansion (`bool`), see also property `exact`. `name` - Optional name (`str`). `TMorder` - Optional keyword argument `TMorder`, see property `TMorder`. Raises: `ImportError` - Package `numpy` not found or not installed, only required for area `S12` when `exact is True`. `RhumbError` - Invalid `a_earth`, `f` or `TMorder`. Overrides: object.__init__

### areaux (self, **exact) |
Get this ellipsoid's `exact` surface area (`meter` squared). Arguments: `exact` - Optional `exact` (`bool`), overriding this rhumb's `exact` setting, if `True`, use the exact expression for the authalic radius otherwise the Taylor series. Returns: The (signed?) surface area (`meter` squared). Raises: `AuxError` - If `exact=False` and `abs(flattening)` exceeds property `f_max`. Note: The area of a polygon encircling a pole can be found by adding `areaux / 2` to the sum of `S12` for each side of the polygon.
