Geo::Functions(3p)

NAME
Geo::Functions - Package for standard Geo:: functions.

SYNOPSIS
  use Geo::Functions qw{deg_rad deg_dms rad_deg}; #import into namespace
  print "Degrees: ", deg_rad(3.14/4), "\n";

  use Geo::Functions;
  my $obj = Geo::Functions->new;
  print "Degrees: ", $obj->deg_rad(3.14/2), "\n";

DESCRIPTION

CONVENTIONS
Function naming convention is "format of the return" underscore "format of the parameters." For example, you can read the deg_rad function as "degrees given radians" or "degrees from radians".

CONSTRUCTOR

  new
The new() constructor

  my $obj = Geo::Functions->new();

METHODS

  deg_dms
Degrees given degrees minutes seconds.

  my $deg=deg_dms(39, 29, 17.134);

  my $deg=deg_dms(39, 29, 17.134, 'N');

  deg_rad
Degrees given radians.

  my $deg=deg_rad(3.14);

  rad_deg
Radians given degrees.

  my $rad=rad_deg(90);

  rad_dms
Radians given degrees minutes seconds.

  my $rad=rad_dms(45 30 20.0);

  round
Round to the nearest integer. This formula rounds toward +/- infinity.

  my $int=round(42.2);

  dms_deg
Degrees minutes seconds given degrees.

  my ($d, $m, $s, $sign)=dms_deg($degrees, qw{N S});
  my ($d, $m, $s, $sign)=dms_deg($degrees, qw{E W});

  dm_deg
Degrees minutes given degrees.

  my ($d, $m, $sign)=dm_deg($degrees, qw{N S});
  my ($d, $m, $sign)=dm_deg($degrees, qw{E W});

  mps_knots
meters per second given knots

  my $mps=mps_knots(50.0);

  knots_mps
knots given meters per second

  my $knots=knots_mps(25.0);
