Package com.irurueta.navigation.geodesic

package com.irurueta.navigation.geodesic

Contains geodesic algorithms. Makes easy to do geodesic computations for an ellipsoid of revolution. The contents of this package are based on geographicLib implementation Geographiclib

The important classes are:

• Geodesic, for direct and inverse geodesic calculations.
• GeodesicLine, an efficient way of calculating multiple points on a single geodesic.
• GeodesicData, object containing the results of geodesic calculations.
• GeodesicMask constants that let you specify the variables to return in GeodesicData and the capabilities of a GeodesicLine.
• Constants the parameters for the WGS84 ellipsoid.
• PolygonArea, a class to compute the perimeter and area of a geodesic polygon (returned as a PolygonResult).
