invgeod +[ +.B \-afFIlptwW +[ +.I args +] ] [ +.B +args +] +file[s] +.SH DESCRIPTION +.I Geod +(direct) and +.I invgeod +(inverse) +perform geodesic (\(``Great Circle\('') computations for determining +latitude, longitude and back azimuth of a terminus point +given a initial point latitude, longitude, azimuth and distance (direct) or +the forward and back azimuths and distance between an initial and +terminus point latitudes and longitudes (inverse). +.PP +The following runline control parameters can appear in any order: +.TP +.B \-I +Specifies that the inverse geodesic computation is to be performed. +May be used with execution of +.B goed +as an alternative to +.B invgeod +execution. +.TP +.B \-a +Latitude and longitudes of the initial and terminal points, +forward and back azimuths and distance are output. +.TP +.BI \-t "a" +.I A +specifies a character employed as the first character to denote +a control line to be passed through without processing. +.TP +.BI \-le +Gives a listing of all the ellipsoids that may be selected with the +.B +ellps= +option. +.TP +.BI \-lu +Gives a listing of all the units that may be selected with the +.B +units= +option. +.TP +.BI \-[f|F] " format" +.I Format +is a +.I printf +format string to control the output form of the geographic coordinate values +(\fBf\fR) or distance value (\fBF\fR). +The default mode is DMS for geographic coordinates and "%.3f" for distance. +.TP +.BI \-[w|W] n +.I N +is the number of significant fractional digits to employ for +seconds output (when the option is not specified, +.B \-w3 +is assumed). +When +.B \-W +is employed the fields will be constant width with leading zeroes. +.TP +.B \-p +This option causes the azimuthal values to be output as unsigned +numbers between 0 and 360\(de. +.PP +The +.B +args +run-line arguments are associated with geodetic parameters +for specifying the ellipsoidal or sphere to use. +See +.B proj +documentation for full list of these parameters and contrl. +The options are processed in left to right order +from the run line. +Reentry of an option is ignored with the first occurance assumed to +be the desired value. +.PP +One or more +.I files +(processed in left to right order) +specify the source of data to be transformed. +A \- will specify the location of processing standard input. +If no files are specified, the input is assumed to be from +.I stdin. +.PP +For direct determinations input data must be in latitude, +longitude, azimuth and distance order and output will be +latitude, longitude and back azimuth of the terminus point. +Latitude, longitude of the initial and terminus point are +input for the inverse mode and respective forward and back +azimuth from the initial and terminus points are output along +with the distance between the points. +.PP +Input geographic coordinates +(latitude and longitude) and azimuthal data must be in DMS format and input +distance data must be in units consistent with the ellipsoid +major axis or sphere radius units. +Output geographic coordinates will be in DMS +(if the +.B \-f +switch is not employed) to 0.001" +with trailing, zero-valued minute-second fields deleted. +Output distance data will be in the same units as the ellipsoid or +sphere radius. +.PP +The Earth's ellipsoidal figure may be selected in the same +manner as program +.B proj +by using +.B "+ellps=, +a=, +es=," +etc. +.PP +.I Geod +may also be used to determine intermediate points along either +a geodesic line between two points or along an arc of specified distance +from a geographic point. +In both cases an initial point must be specified with +.BI +lat_1= lat +and +.BI +lon_1= lon +parameters and either a terminus point +.BI +lat_2= lat +and +.BI +lon_2= lon +or a distance and azimuth from the initial point with +.BI +S= distance +and +.BI +A= azimuth +must be specified. +.PP +If points along a geodesic are to be determined then either +.BI +n_S= integer +specifying the number of intermediate points and/or +.BI +del_S= distance +specifying the incremental distance between points must be specified. +.PP +To determine points along an arc equidistant from the initial point both +.BI +del_A= angle +and +.BI +n_A= integer +must be specified which determine the respective angular increments +and number of points to be determined. +.RE +.SH EXAMPLE +The following script determines the geodesic azimuths and distance in +U.S. stature miles from Boston, MA, to Portland, OR: +.RS 5 + \f(CWgeod +ellps=clrk66 < for each input point. +For conformal projections meridinal and parallel scales factors +will be equal and angular distortion zero. +Equal area projections will have an area factor of 1. +.TP +.BI \-m " mult" +The cartesian data may be scaled by the +.I mult +parameter. +When processing data in a forward projection mode the +cartesian output values are multiplied by +.I mult +otherwise the input cartesian values are divided by +.I mult +before inverse projection. +If the first two characters of +.I mult +are 1/ or 1: then the reciprocal value of +.I mult +is employed. +.TP +.BI \-f " format" +.I Format +is a +.I printf +format string to control the form of the output values. +For inverse projections, the output will be in degrees when this option +is employed. +If a format is specified for inverse projection the +output data will be in decimal degrees. +The default format is \(``%.2f\('' for forward projection and DMS +for inverse. +.TP +.BI \-[w|W] n +.I N +is the number of significant fractional digits to employ for +seconds output (when the option is not specified, +.B \-w3 +is assumed). +When +.B \-W +is employed the fields will be constant width and with leading zeroes. +.TP +.B \-v +causes a listing of cartographic control parameters tested for and +used by the program to be printed prior to input data. +Should not be used with the +.B \-T +option. +.TP +.B \-V +This option causes an expanded annotated listing of the characteristics +of the projected point. +.B -v is implied with this option. +.TP +.BI \-T " ulow,uhi,vlow,vhi,res[,umax,vmax]" +This option creates a set of bivariate Chebyshev polynomial +coefficients that approximate the selected cartographic projection on +.I stdout. +The values +.I low +and +.I hi +denote the range of the input where the +.I u +or +.I v +prefixes apply to respective longitude-x or latitude-y +depending upon whether a forward or inverse projection is selected. +.I Res +is an integer number specifying the power of 10 precision of the +approximation. +For example, a +.I res +of -3 specifies an approximation with an accuracy better than .001. +.I Umax, +and +.I vmax +specify maximum degree of the polynomials (default: 15). +See also: +.B fproj(1). +.PP +The +.B +args +run-line arguments are associated with cartographic parameters +and usage varies with projection and for a complete description see +.I "Cartographic Projection Procedures for the UNIX Environment\(emA User's Manual" ) +and supplementary documentation for Release 4. +.PP +Additional projection control parameters may be contained in two +auxilliary control files: +the first is optionally referenced with the +.BI +init= file:id +and the second is always processed after the name +of the projection has been established from either the run-line +or the contents of +.B +init +file. +The environment parameter +.B PROJ_LIB +establishes the default directory for a file reference without +an absolute path. +.PP +One or more +.I files +(processed in left to right order) +specify the source of data to be transformed. +A \- will specify the location of processing standard input. +If no files are specified, the input is assumed to be from +.I stdin. +For ASCII input data the two data values must be in the +first two white space separated fields and +when both input and output are ASCII all trailing portions +of the input line are appended to the output line. +.PP +Input geographic data +(longitude and latitude) must be in DMS format and input +cartesian data must be in units consistent with the ellipsoid +major axis or sphere radius units. +Output geographic coordinates will be in DMS +(if the +.B \-w +switch is not employed) and precise to 0.001" +with trailing, zero-valued minute-second fields deleted. +.SH EXAMPLE +The following script +.RS 5 +
