ELL_GEOAZI_INT Name
ELL_GEOAZI_INT
Purpose
Find intersection point of a geodesic and an azimuth line.
Category
Calling Sequence
ell_geoazi_int, a, b, c, az, p Inputs
a, b = Points on geodesic. in
Geodesic ab must cross circle (one intersection).
c = Circle center. in
az = Azimuth of circle radius. in
Keyword Parameters
Keywords
/LOX Use loxodromic azimuth, else geodesic azimuth.
ERROR=err Error flag: 0=ok.
COUNT=cnt Binary search iteration count.
Outputs
p = Intersection point. out
Points are structures: {lon:lon, lat:lat}.
Common Blocks
Notes
Notes: Points A and B are connected by a geodesic.
Point is the intersection of this geodesic with an
azimuth line from point C. The azimuth is assumed to
be a geodesic azimuth unless the keyword /LOX is set,
in which case it is a loxodromic azimuth.
