Azimuth¶

Calculates the great circle azimuth from a point 1 to a point 2. The latitude and longitude of these two points can either be given independently or as columns of the matrices point 1 and point 2 in the form [latitude longitude].

Forms¶

az = azimuth(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2)

az = azimuth(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2, units)

az = azimuth(pt1, pt2)

az = azimuth(pt1, pt2, units)

Note

The units for the input coordinates and output angles can be degrees (the default) or radians.

Examples¶

Usages:

>> azimuth([10, 10], [10, 40])
ans = 87.336
>> azimuth([0, 10], [0, 40])
ans = 90
>> azimuth(pi / 4, 0, pi / 4, -pi / 2, "radians")
ans = 5.3279
