Method Details

### deltaTo (self, other) |
Calculate the local delta from this to an other point. The delta is returned as a North-East-Down (NED) vector. Note, this is a linear delta, unrelated to a geodesic on the ellipsoid. The points need not be defined on the same datum. Arguments: `other` - The other point (LatLon). Returns: Delta of this point (Ned). Raises: `TypeError` - The `other` point is not LatLon. `ValueError` - If ellipsoids are incompatible. Example:
    >>> a = LatLon(49.66618, 3.45063)
    >>> b = LatLon(48.88667, 2.37472)
    >>> delta = a.deltaTo(b)  # [N:-86126, E:-78900, D:1069]
    >>> d = delta.length  # 116807.681 m
    >>> b = delta.bearing  # 222.493°
    >>> e = delta.elevation  # -0.5245°

### destinationNed (self, delta) |
Calculate the destination point using the supplied NED delta from this point. Arguments: `delta` - Delta from this to the other point in the local tangent plane (LTP) of this point (Ned). Returns: Destination point (LatLon). Raises: `TypeError` - If `delta` is not Ned. Example:
    >>> a = LatLon(49.66618, 3.45063)
    >>> delta = Ned(-86126, -78900, 1069)  # from Aer(222.493, -0.5245, 116807.681)
    >>> b = a.destinationNed(delta)  # 48.886669°N, 002.374721°E or 48°53′12.01″N, 002°22′29.0″E   +0.20m
JS name: destinationPoint.

### distanceTo (self, other, radius=None, wrap=False) |
Approximate the distance from this to an other point. Arguments: `other` - The other point (LatLon). `radius` - Mean earth radius (`meter`). `wrap` - Wrap/unroll the angular distance (`bool`). Returns: Distance (`meter`, same units as `radius`). Raises: `TypeError` - The `other` point is not LatLon. `ValueError` - Invalid `radius`. Example:
    >>> p = LatLon(52.205, 0.119)
    >>> q = LatLon(48.857, 2.351);
    >>> d = p.distanceTo(q)  # 404300

### equals (self, other, eps=None) |
DEPRECATED, use method isequalTo. Decorators: `@deprecated_method` Overrides: latlonBase.LatLonBase.equals

### isequalTo (self, other, eps=None) |
Compare this point with an other point. Arguments: `other` - The other point (LatLon). `eps` - Optional margin (`float`). Returns: `True` if points are identical, including datum, ignoring height, `False` otherwise. Raises: `TypeError` - The `other` point is not LatLon. `ValueError` - Invalid `eps`. Overrides: latlonBase.LatLonBase.isequalTo See Also: Method `isequalTo3` to include height. Example:
    >>> p = LatLon(52.205, 0.119)
    >>> q = LatLon(52.205, 0.119)
    >>> e = p.isequalTo(q)  # True

### intermediateTo (self, other, fraction, height=None) |
Return the point at given fraction between this and an other point. Arguments: `other` - The other point (LatLon). `fraction` - Fraction between both points ranging from 0, meaning this to 1, the other point (`float`). `height` - Optional height, overriding the fractional height (`meter`). Returns: Intermediate point (LatLon). Raises: `TypeError` - The `other` point is not LatLon. Example:
    >>> p = LatLon(52.205, 0.119)
    >>> q = LatLon(48.857, 2.351)
    >>> p = p.intermediateTo(q, 0.25)  # 51.3721°N, 000.7073°E
JS name: intermediatePointTo.

### toCartesian (self, **Cartesian_and_kwds) |
Convert this point to an `Nvector`-based geodetic point. Arguments: `Cartesian_and_kwds` - Optional Cartesian, `datum` and other keyword arguments. Use `Cartesian=...` to override this Cartesian class or specify `Cartesian=None`. Returns: The geodetic point (Cartesian) or if `Cartesian` is set to `None`, an Ecef9Tuple`(x, y, z, lat, lon, height, C, M, datum)` with `C` and `M` if available. Raises: `TypeError` - Invalid `Cartesian` or other `Cartesian_and_kwds`. Overrides: latlonBase.LatLonBase.toCartesian

### toNvector (self, **Nvector_and_kwds) |
Convert this point to Nvector components, including height. Arguments: `Nvector_and_kwds` - Optional Nvector, `datum` and other keyword arguments. Use `Nvector=...` to override this Nvector class or specify `Nvector=None`. Returns: The `n-vector` components (Nvector) or if `Nvector` is set to `None`, a Vector4Tuple`(x, y, z, h)`. Raises: `TypeError` - Invalid `Nvector` or other `Nvector_and_kwds`. Overrides: latlonBase.LatLonBase.toNvector Example:
    >>> p = LatLon(45, 45)
    >>> n = p.toNvector()
    >>> n.toStr()  # [0.50, 0.50, 0.70710]

Property Details

### Ecef Get the ECEF class (EcefVeness), lazily. Get method: Ecef(self) - Get the ECEF class (EcefVeness), lazily. Set method: _fset_error(inst, val) - Throws an `AttributeError`, always. Delete Method: _fdel(inst) - Zap the cached/memoized `property` value.
