# Module rhumbaux

A pure Python version of Karney's C++ classes Rhumb and RhumbLine from GeographicLib version 2.2+ renamed as RhumbAux respectively RhumbLineAux.

Class RhumbLineAux has been enhanced with methods `intersection2` and `nearestOn4` to iteratively find the intersection of two rhumb lines, respectively the nearest point on a rumb line along a geodesic or perpendicular rhumb line from an other point.

For more details, see the 2.2 GeographicLib documentation, especially the Class List, the background information on Rhumb lines, utility RhumbSolve and Online rhumb line calculations.

Note: Class AuxDST requires package numpy to be installed, version 1.16 or newer, needed only for exact area calculations `S12` in RhumbAux and RhumbLineAux.

Version: 23.10.27
