Package pygeodesy

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

Transcoded from JavaScript originals by Chris Veness (C) 2005-2022 and from several C++ classes by Charles F. F. Karney (C) 2008-2023 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 and secants, path intersections, 3-point resections, rhumb and rhumb lines, triangulation, trilateration (by intersection, by overlap and in 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), UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator and Exact), UPS (Universal Polar Stereographic) and Web Mercator (Pseudo-Mercator) coordinates, MGRS (Military Grid Reference System, UTM and UPS) 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 paths or polygons of LatLon points using the Cohen-Sutherland, Forster-Hormann-Popa, Greiner-Hormann, Liang-Barsky and 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 provide boolean operations between (composite) polygons or interpolate the height of LatLon points and Geoid models, compute various Fréchet or Hausdorff distances.

Installation

To install PyGeodesy, type python[3] -m pip install PyGeodesy or python[3] -m easy_install PyGeodesy in a terminal or command window.

If the wheel PyGeodesy-yy.m.d-py2.py3-none-any.whl is missing in PyPI Download files, download the file from GitHub/dist. Install that with python[3] -m pip install <path-to-downloaded-wheel> and verify with python[3] -m pygeodesy.

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] 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 most Geoid... and Height... interpolators, except GeoidKarney and the HeightIDW... ones.

Functions and LatLon methods circin6, circum3, circum4_, soddy4, trilaterate3d2 do and trilaterate5 and modules auxilats and rhumb may require numpy.

Modules ellipsoidalGeodSolve and geodsolve and azimuthal classes EquidistantGeodSolve and GnomonicGeodSolve depend on Karney's C++ utility GeodSolve to be executable and set with env variable PYGEODESY_GEODSOLVE or with property Ellipsoid.geodsolve.

To compare MGRS results from modules mgrs and testMgrs with Karney's C++ utility GeoConvert, the latter must be executable and set with env variable PYGEODESY_GEOCONVERT.

Module rhumb.solve needs Karney's C++ utility RhumbSolve to be executable and set with env variable PYGEODESY_RHUMBSOLVE or with property Ellipsoid.rhumbsolve.

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).

Raises:
  • ParseError - Invalid strDDDMMSS or clip or the form of strDDDMMSS is incompatible with the suffixed or suffix compass point.

Notes:
  • Type str values "[D]DD", "[D]DDMM", "[D]DDMMSS" and "[D]DD.MMSS" for strDDDMMSS are parsed properly only if either unsigned and suffixed with a valid, compatible, cardinal compassPoint or signed or unsigned, unsuffixed and with keyword argument suffix="NS", suffix="EW" or a compatible compassPoint.

Also, float(15.0523) is returned as 15.0523 decimal degrees and not 15°5′23″ sexagecimal. To consider the latter, use float(15.0523) or "15.0523" and specify the keyword argument sexagecimal=True.

Degrees (float).
Raises:

Note: Unlike function parseDDDMMSS, type float, int and other non-str strDMS values are considered decimal (and not sexagecimal) degrees. For example, int(1230) is returned as 1230.0 and not as 12.5 degrees and float(345) as 345.0 and not as 3.75 degrees!
