Known Subclasses:
  - auxDLat.AuxDLat

Accurate conversion between Auxiliary latitudes on an ellipsoid.

Latitudes are represented by instances of AuxAngle in order to maintain precision close to the poles, Authalic latitude `Xi`, Conformal `Chi`, Geocentric `Theta`, Geographic `Phi`, Parametric `Beta` and Rectifying `Mu`.

See Also: Karney's C++ class AuxLatitude.

Method Details

### __init__ (self, a_earth=Datum(name='WGS84', ellipsoid=Ellipsoids.WGS84, transform=Tran`...`, f=None, b=None, name='', **ALorder) (Constructor) |
New AuxLat instance on an ellipsoid or datum. Arguments: `a_earth` - Equatorial radius, semi-axis (`meter`) or an ellipsoid or datum (Datum, Ellipsoid, Ellipsoid2 or a_f2Tuple). `f` - Flattening: (a - b) / a (`float`, near zero for spherical), ignored if `a_earth` is not scalar. `b` - Optional polar radius, semi-axis (`meter`, same units as `a_earth`), ignored if `a_earth` is not scalar. `ALorder` - Optional keyword arguments `ALorder` to set AuxLat's `order`, see property `ALorder`. `name` - Optional name (`str`). Raises: `AuxError` - Invalid `y_angle`, `x` or `aux`. Overrides: object.__init__

### Authalic (self, Phi, **diff_name) |
Convert Geographic to Aunthalic latitude. Arguments: `Phi` - Geographic latitude (AuxAngle). Returns: Parametric latitude, `Beta` (AuxAngle).

### AuthalicRadius2 (self, exact=False, f_max=0.1) |
Get the Authalic radius squared. Arguments: `exact` - If `True`, use the exact expression, otherwise the Taylor series. `f_max` - `Flattening` not to exceed (`float`). Returns: Authalic radius squared (`meter` squared, same units as the ellipsoid axes). Raises: `AuxError` - If `exact=False` and `abs(flattening)` exceeds `f_max`.

### Conformal (self, Phi, **diff_name) |
Convert Geographic to Conformal latitude. Arguments: `Phi` - Geographic latitude (AuxAngle). Returns: Conformal latitude, `Chi` (AuxAngle).

### Geocentric (self, Phi, **diff_name) |
Convert Geographic to Geocentric latitude. Arguments: `Phi` - Geographic latitude (AuxAngle). Returns: Geocentric latitude, `Phi` (AuxAngle).

### Geodetic (self, Phi, **diff_name) |
Convert Geographic to Geodetic latitude. Arguments: `Phi` - Geographic latitude (AuxAngle). Returns: Geodetic latitude, `Phi` (AuxAngle).

### Parametric (self, Phi, **diff_name) |
Convert Geographic to Parametric latitude. Arguments: `Phi` - Geographic latitude (AuxAngle). Returns: Parametric latitude, `Beta` (AuxAngle).

### Reduced (self, Phi, **diff_name) |
Convert Geographic to Parametric latitude. Arguments: `Phi` - Geographic latitude (AuxAngle). Returns: Parametric latitude, `Beta` (AuxAngle).

### Rectifying (self, Phi, **diff_name) |
Convert Geographic to Rectifying latitude. Arguments: `Phi` - Geographic latitude (AuxAngle). Returns: Rectifying latitude, `Mu` (AuxAngle).

### RectifyingRadius (self, exact=False) |
Get the Rectifying radius. Arguments: `exact` - If `True`, use the exact expression, otherwise the Taylor series. Returns: Rectifying radius (Meter, same units as the ellipsoid axes).
