anowacki / geodesics.jl Goto Github PK

Probably a very naive question.

But, is it possible to obtain the shortest distance between two points (geodesic) with this package and if so, how?

Geodesics.inverse ? [with this right?]

But, more importantly:
How do I get the corresponding geodesic line data?

These are a list of things that will need to be done to register the package:

• Add an API to allow the user to choose the computation algorithm. Default to Karney (GeographicLib). Include Vincenty as an option. (Maybe add Haversine for when using a sphere?)
• Copy in the code (functionality and tests) of GeographicLib.jl to provide the default algorithm, but don't expose the interface.
• OR: Register GeographicLib.jl as is, and depend on that.
• Change the name (#3)
• Bump the minor version

I'm trying to add Geodesics as a dependency to my package (SeisNoise.jl), which requires Julia 1.x. Geodesics is failing to install on Travis CI because of the julia 0.7 in the REQUIRE file. Could you change your Project.toml to have Julia 1.x compatibility by adding

[compat]
julia = "1"

In #2, @tclements would like to depend on Geodesics.jl. This would required registering this package, and probably changing the name.

I discovered this Julia package on Geodesics just this week.
It has just the right amount of abstraction and works just great.
Have not found any bugs...Archie
