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 type of the None singleton.

props.longitude: float#

The type of the None singleton.

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
