pandas_xyz.scalar module

pandas_xyz.scalar.cartesian(lon1, lat1, lon2, lat2)

Calculate point-to-point distance using cartesian coordinates.

Parameters

• lon1 (float) – longitude coordinate of start point in degrees E (-180, 180)

• lat1 (float) – latitude coordinate of start point in degrees N (-90, 90)

• lon2 (float) – longitude coordinate of end point in degrees E (-180, 180)

• lat2 (float) – latitude coordinate of end point in degrees N (-90, 90)

Returns

distance from point 1 to point 2 in meters.

Return type

float

pandas_xyz.scalar.great_circle(lon1, lat1, lon2, lat2)

Calculate point-to-point distances using great circle.

• lat1 (float) – latitude coordinate of start point in degrees N (-90, 90)

• lon2 (float) – longitude coordinate of end point in degrees E (-180, 180)

• lat2 (float) – latitude coordinate of end point in degrees N (-90, 90)

Returns

distance from point 1 to point 2 in meters.

Return type

float
