Installation

Install using pip with:

pip install diblogeo

Or, download a wheel or source archive from PyPI.

Measuring Distances

Example 1:

>>> from diblogeo import Geo >>> distance = Geo((55.3303636516, 10.4466164796)) ... .distance((55.3706593849, 10.469825563)) >>> print(distance) 4.70941600331 >>> print(distance.kilometers) 4.71 >>> print(distance.feet) 15450.84

Example 2 (Altitude 11.34 meters):

>>> from diblogeo import Geo >>> distance = Geo((55.3303636516, 10.4466164796, 11.34)) ... .distance((55.3706593849, 10.469825563, 11.34)) >>> print(distance) 4.71780808395 >>> print(distance.kilometers) 4.72 >>> print(distance.feet) 15478.37

Measuring Angles

>>> from diblogeo import Geo >>> bearing = Geo((55.3303636516, 10.4466164796)) ... .bearing((55.3706593849, 10.469825563)) >>> print(bearing) 18.1225041609 >>> print(bearing.degrees) 18.12 >>> print(bearing.radians) 0.316297366315

Projecting Destinations

Example 1:

>>> from diblogeo import Geo >>> point = Geo((55.3303636516, 10.4466164796)) >>> point.destination(37.2, 3.2) (55.3533088458, 10.4772564424, 0) >>> point.destination(bearing=37.2, kilometers=3.2) (55.3533088458, 10.4772564424, 0) >>> point.destination(37.2, meters=3200) (55.3533088458, 10.4772564424, 0)

Example 2 (Altitude 11.34 meters):

>>> from diblogeo import Geo >>> point = Geo((55.3303636516, 10.4466164796, 11.34)) >>> point.destination(37.2, 3.2) (55.3532680374, 10.4772019082, 11.34) >>> point.destination(bearing=37.2, kilometers=3.2) (55.3532680374, 10.4772019082, 11.34) >>> point.destination(37.2, meters=3200) (55.3532680374, 10.4772019082, 11.34)

Calculate Earth's Radius

>>> from diblogeo import calc_earth_radius >>> earth_radius = calc_earth_radius((55.3303636516, 10.4466164796, 11.34)) >>> print(earth_radius) 6375.05118755 >>> print(earth_radius.kilometers) 6375.05 >>> print(earth_radius.miles) 3961.27

More input and output methods

>>> from diblogeo import Geo >>> location = Geo(("55° 19' 49.31"", "10° 26' 47.82"", 11.34)) ... .destination(37.2, miles=3.2) >>> print(location.latitude, location.longitude, location.altitude) (55.367221177288684, 10.495856496671713, 11.34) >>> print(location[0], location[1], location[2]) (55.367221177288684, 10.495856496671713, 11.34) >>> print(location.dms) ((55, 22, 1.99624, 'N'), (10, 29, 45.08339, 'E'), 11.34) >>> print(location.dms.latitude, location.dms.longitude, location.altitude) ((55, 22, 1.99624, 'N'), (10, 29, 45.08339, 'E'), 11.34)

Locations/ Points Attributes

The attributes can be used with Geo and destination.

Decimal Degrees:

• location, loc, dd
• latitude, lat
• longitude, lon
• elevations, altitude, alt

location, loc and dd return an instance of _Point

• [_Point].latitude, [_Point].lat
• [_Point].longitude, [_Point].lon
• [_Point].elevations, [_Point].altitude, [_Point].alt

Degrees Minutes Seconds:

• dms
• dms.latitude, dms.lat
• dms.longitude, dms.lon
• dms.elevations, dms.altitude, dms.alt

Unit of measurement

The attributes can be used with distance and calc_earth_radius. Destination supports all the units as distance argument.

• kilometers, km
• meters, m
• cm
• miles, mi
• feet, ft
• nautical, nm, nmi

Angle Units

The attributes can be used with bearing.

• degrees, deg
• radians, rad
