# Package pygeodesy

A pure Python implementation of geodesy tools for various ellipsoidal and spherical earth models using precision trigonometric, vector-based, exact, elliptic and approximate methods for geodetic (lat-/longitude) and geocentric (ECEF cartesian) coordinates.

Transcoded from JavaScript originals by Chris Veness (C) 2005-2019 and from several C++ classes by Charles F.F. Karney (C) 2008-2021 and published under the same MIT License**.

There are four modules for ellipsoidal earth models, `ellipsoidalExact`, `-Karney`, `-Vincenty` and `-Nvector` and two for spherical ones, `sphericalTrigonometry` and `-Nvector`. Each module provides a geodetic `LatLon` and a geocentric `Cartesian` class with methods and functions to compute distance, surface area, perimeter, initial and final bearing, intermediate and nearest points, circle intersections, path intersections, trilateration (by intersection, by overlap and on 3d), conversions and unrolling, among other things. For more information and further details see the documentation, the descriptions of Latitude/Longitude, Vincenty and Vector-based geodesy, the original JavaScript source or docs and Karney's Python geographiclib and C++ GeographicLib.

Also included are modules for conversions to and from Cassini-Soldner, ECEF (Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed cartesian), UPS (Universal Polar Stereographic), UTM (Exact and Universal Transverse Mercator) and Web Mercator (Pseudo-Mercator) coordinates, MGRS (NATO Military Grid Reference System) and OSGR (British Ordinance Survery Grid Reference) grid references, TRF (Terrestrial Reference Frames) and modules to encode and decode EPSG, Geohashes, Georefs (WGRS) and Garefs (GARS).

Other modules provide Albers equal-area projections, equidistant and other azimuthal projections, Lambert conformal conic projections and positions, functions to clip a path or polygon of `LatLon` points using the Cohen-Sutherland, the Liang-Barsky and the Sutherland-Hodgman methods, functions to simplify or linearize a path of `LatLon` points (or a NumPy array), including implementations of the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker the Visvalingam-Whyatt and the Reumann-Witkam algorithms and modified versions of the former. Other classes interpolate the `height` of `LatLon` points and `Geoid` models or compute various Fréchet or Hausdorff distances.

# Installation

To install PyGeodesy, type `pip install PyGeodesy` or `easy_install PyGeodesy` in a terminal or command window.

Alternatively, download `PyGeodesy-yy.m.d.zip` from PyPI or GitHub, `unzip` the downloaded file, `cd` to directory `Pygeodesy-yy.m.d` and type `python[3] setup.py install`.

To run all PyGeodesy tests, type `python[3] setup.py test` or type `python[3] test/run.py` or type `python[3] test/unitTestSuite.py` before or after installation.

# Dependencies

Installation of Karney's Python package geographiclib is optional, but required to use modules ellipsoidalKarney and css, azimuthal classes EquidistantKarney and GnomonicKarney and the HeightIDWkarney interpolator.

Both numpy and scipy must be installed for `Geoid...` and `Height...` interpolators, except the `HeightIDW...` ones. Functions circin6, circum3, circum4_, soddy4 and trilaterate3d2`/-5` and the corresponding `Cartesian`, `LatLon`, `Nvector` and Vector3d methods require numpy.

Modules ellipsoidalGeodSolve and geodsolve and azimuthal classes EquidistantGeodSolve and GnomonicGeodSolve depend on Karney's C++ utility GeodSolve to be executable.

# Documentation

In addition to the `pygeodesy` package, the PyGeodesy distribution files contain the tests, the test results (on macOS only) and the complete documentation (generated by Epydoc using command line: `epydoc --html --no-private --no-source --name=PyGeodesy --url=... -v pygeodesy`).

# Tests

The tests have been run with Python 3.10.0rc1 (with geographiclib 1.52), Python 3.9.6 (with geographiclib 1.52 and numpy 1.21.2), Python 3.8.10 (with geographiclib 1.52, GeodSolve 1.51, numpy 1.19.2 and scipy 1.5.2) and macOS' Python 2.7.16 (with GeodSolve 1.51, all on macOS 11.6 Big Sur (aka 10.16) and in 64-bit only. The tests are run with and without `lazy import` for Python 3 and with command line option `-W always` and environment variable `PYGEODESY_WARNINGS=on` for all Python versions. The results of only those tests are included in the distribution files.

Python 3.10.0rc1, 3.9.6 and macOS' Python 2.7.16 run on Apple Silicon (`arm64`), all other Python versions run on Intel (`x86_64`) or emulated Intel (`"arm64_x86_64"`, see function machine).

Test coverage has been measured with coverage 4.5.4 using Python 3.9.6 (with geographiclib 1.52 and numpy 1.21.2), Python 3.8.10 (with geographiclib 1.52, numpy 1.19.2 and scipy 1.5.2) and macOS' Python 2.7.16 (GeodSolve). The complete coverage report in HTML and a PDF summary are included in the distribution files.

The tests also ran with Python 3.8.0, 3.7.1, 3.6.7, 2.7.15 and PyPy 7.1.1 (Python 3.6.1 and 2.7.13) (and geographiclib 1.52) on Ubuntu 16.04 and with Python 3.9.1 (and geographiclib 1.52) on Debian 9, all in 64-bit only and with Python 3.8.0, 3.7.5 and 2.7.17 (all with geographiclib 1.52) on Windows Server 2012R2 in both 64- and 32-bit.

A single-File and single-Directory application with `pygeodesy` has been bundled using PyInstaller 3.4 and 64-bit Python 3.7.3 on macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra.

# Notes

All Python source code has been statically checked with PyChecker, PyFlakes, PyCodeStyle (formerly Pep8) and McCabe using Python 2.7.18 and with Flake8 using Python 3.10.0rc1, both in 64-bit on macOS 11.6 Big Sur (aka 10.16).
