Source
Expand description

azimuth(&p1, &p2) — the bearing from p1 to p2.

Mirrors boost::geometry::azimuth from boost/geometry/algorithms/azimuth.hpp. Dispatches to the per-CS- family default strategy via geometry_strategy::DefaultAzimuth — Cartesian points resolve to geometry_strategy::CartesianAzimuth, spherical to geometry_strategy::SphericalAzimuth and geographic to geometry_strategy::GeographicAzimuth. All three share one bearing convention (0 = north, increasing clockwise — the geodetic convention Boost uses uniformly, azimuth.hpp:76).

Functions§

azimuth
The azimuth (bearing) from p1 to p2, in radians, using the default strategy for the points’ coordinate-system family.
azimuth_with
Azimuth from p1 to p2 using an explicitly supplied strategy.
