Location

class Location(*args, **kwargs)

Implementations: Coordinate, Marker, Point, SymbolEvent, Viewport

An interface common to objects having latitude and longitude

By implementing Location the object declares that it has latitude and longitude and can be used to specify location on the map.

Methods

class Location

distance(other: Location) → float

Calculates the distance in meters between two locations.

This function uses the great-circle distance formula, which assumes Earth is a perfect sphere. This limits the accuracy of the result, but is good enough for most purposes.

Added in version 1.2.

Parameters:: other – a Location

get_latitude() → float: Gets the latitude coordinate in degrees.

get_longitude() → float: Gets the longitude coordinate in degrees.

set_location(latitude: float, longitude: float) → None

Sets the coordinates of the location

Parameters:

latitude – the latitude in degrees
longitude – the longitude in degrees

Properties

class Location

props.latitude: float: The latitude coordonate in degrees

props.longitude: float: The longitude coordonate in degrees

Virtual Methods

class Location

do_get_latitude() → float: Gets the latitude coordinate in degrees.

do_get_longitude() → float: Gets the longitude coordinate in degrees.

do_set_location(latitude: float, longitude: float) → None

Sets the coordinates of the location

Parameters:

latitude – the latitude in degrees
longitude – the longitude in degrees
