harp_geometry The HARP Geometry module contains public functions for dealing with polygons and points on a spherical surface.
Functions
-
int
harp_geometry_get_point_distance(double latitude_a, double longitude_a, double latitude_b, double longitude_b, double *distance) Calculate the distance between two points on the surface of the Earth in meters
This function assumes a spherical earth
- Return
0, Success.-1, Error occurred (check harp_errno).
- Parameters
latitude_a: Latitude of first pointlongitude_a: Longitude of first pointlatitude_b: Latitude of second pointlongitude_b: Longitude of second pointdistance: Pointer to the C variable where the surface distance in [m] between the two points will be stored.
-
int
harp_geometry_has_point_in_area(double latitude_point, double longitude_point, int num_vertices, double *latitude_bounds, double *longitude_bounds, int *in_area) Determine whether a point is in an area on the surface of the Earth
This function assumes a spherical earth.
The latitude/longitude bounds can be either vertices of a polygon (num_vertices>=3) or represent corner points that define a bounding rect (num_vertices==2).
- Return
0, Success.-1, Error occurred (check harp_errno).
- Parameters
latitude_point: Latitude of the pointlongitude_point: Longitude of the pointnum_vertices: The number of vertices of the bounding polygon/rect of the arealatitude_bounds: Latitude values of the bounds of the area polygon/rectlongitude_bounds: Longitude values of the bounds of the area polygon/rectin_area: Pointer to the C variable where the result will be stored (1 if point is in the area, 0 otherwise).
-
int
harp_geometry_has_area_overlap(int num_vertices_a, double *latitude_bounds_a, double *longitude_bounds_a, int num_vertices_b, double *latitude_bounds_b, double *longitude_bounds_b, int *has_overlap, double *fraction) Determine whether a point is in an area on the surface of the Earth
This function assumes a spherical earth. The overlap fraction is calculated as area(intersection)/min(area(A),area(B)).
The latitude/longitude bounds for A and B can be either vertices of a polygon (num_vertices>=3), or represent corner points that define a bounding rect (num_vertices==2).
- Return
0, Success.-1, Error occurred (check harp_errno).
- Parameters
num_vertices_a: The number of vertices of the bounding polygon/rect of the first arealatitude_bounds_a: Latitude values of the bounds of the area of the first polygon/rectlongitude_bounds_a: Longitude values of the bounds of the area of the first polygon/rectnum_vertices_b: The number of vertices of the bounding polygon/rect of the second arealatitude_bounds_b: Latitude values of the bounds of the area of the second polygon/rectlongitude_bounds_b: Longitude values of the bounds of the area of the second polygon/recthas_overlap: Pointer to the C variable where the result will be stored (1 if there is overlap, 0 otherwise).fraction: Pointer to the C variable where the overlap fraction will be stored (use NULL if not needed).

int
harp_geometry_get_area(int num_vertices, double *latitude_bounds, double *longitude_bounds, double *area) Calculate the area size for a polygon on the surface of the Earth
This function assumes a spherical earth.
The latitude/longitude bounds for A and B can be either vertices of a polygon (num_vertices>=3), or represent corner points that define a bounding rect (num_vertices==2).
- Return
0, Success.-1, Error occurred (check harp_errno).
- Parameters
num_vertices: The number of vertices of the bounding polygon/rectlatitude_bounds: Latitude values of the bounds of the polygon/rectlongitude_bounds: Longitude values of the bounds of the polygon/rectarea: Pointer to the C variable where the area size will be stored (in [m2]).
