Enums§

GeodesicSurface
The type of surface on which to compute geodesics.

Functions§

geodesic_curvature
Compute the geodesic curvature along a discrete path. Returns a curvature value for each interior point.
geodesic_on_surface
Compute a geodesic path on a given surface between two points. Returns steps evenly spaced points along the geodesic.
parallel_transport
Transport a vector along a geodesic path using Schild’s ladder approximation. Returns the transported vector at each point along the path.
shortest_path_sphere
Shortest path on a sphere (great circle arc).
shortest_path_torus
Shortest path on a torus (approximate via parameter-space interpolation).
