Compass Point

Version Build Status Total Downloads License

A Ruby library for working with compass points.

Compass Rose

Compatibility

Compass Point is compatible with the following versions of Ruby:

  • MRI Ruby 3.1.x, 3.2.x, and 3.3.x

Installation

gem install compass_point

Basic Usage

Azimuth

Given an string such as "NW", "SE", "Northeast by east", or "N 20° W", azimuth will return the corresponding azimuth in degrees from 0 to 360:

CompassPoint.azimuth('N') #=> 0.0
CompassPoint.azimuth('S') #=> 180.0
CompassPoint.azimuth('swbs') #=> 213.75
CompassPoint.azimuth('Northeast by east') #=> 56.25
CompassPoint.azimuth('N 20° W') #=> 340

Use back_azimuth to find the opposite azimuth:

CompassPoint.azimuth('N') #=> 180.0
CompassPoint.azimuth('S') #=> 0.0
CompassPoint.azimuth('swbs') #=> 33.75

You can also get the minimum and maximum azimuths for any abbreviation with min, max and min_max:

CompassPoint.min('E') #=> 84.38
CompassPoint.max('E') #=> 95.62
CompassPoint.min('Northeast by east') #=> 50.63
CompassPoint.max('Northeast by east') #=> 61.87
CompassPoint.min_max('E') #=> [84.38, 95.62]
CompassPoint.min_max('Northeast by east') #=> [50.63, 61.87]

Get the full name for an abbreviation:

CompassPoint.name('NNW') #=> "North northwest"
CompassPoint.name('SEbS') #=> "Southeast by south"

Compass Quadrant Bearing

Given an azimuth, calculate the compass quadrant bearing. For example:

CompassPoint.compass_quadrant_bearing(103) #=> "S 77° E"
CompassPoint.compass_quadrant_bearing(340) #=> "N 20° W"
CompassPoint.compass_quadrant_bearing(0) #=> "N"
