-- | The geometric types and values exposed by naqsha. module Naqsha.Geometry ( module Naqsha.Geometry.Coordinate -- ** Angles and angular quantities. , module Naqsha.Geometry.Angle -- * Geometric hashing. -- $geohashing$ -- * Distance calculation. -- -- $distance$ -- -- * Internal details -- $internals$ ) where import Naqsha.Geometry.Angle import Naqsha.Geometry.Coordinate -- Nothing imported here. Only for docs. import Naqsha.Geometry.Spherical() -- $geohashing$ -- -- Geometric hashing is a technique of converting geometric -- coordinates into 1-dimension strings. Often these hashes ensures -- that string with large common prefix are close by (although not the -- converse). Hence, these hashes can be used to stored geo-cordinates -- in database and build into it a sense of location awareness. We support -- the following geometric hashing: -- -- ["Naqsha.Geometry.Coordinate.GeoHash":] The geohash standard -- (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geohash>). -- -- None of these modules are imported by default the user may import -- the one that is most desirable. -- $distance$ -- -- Calculating quantities like distance, bearing etc depends on the -- model of the globe that we choose. Even in a given model we might -- have different algorithms to compute the distance depending on -- speed-accuracy trade-offs. Choosing the correct model and -- algorithms is application dependent and hence we do not expose any -- default ones. The following modules can be imported depending on the need -- -- ["Naqsha.Geometry.Spherical": ] Assume a spherical model of the -- globe. Distance is calculated using the haversine formula. -- $internals$ -- -- The basic types like `Latitude` or `Longitude` are exposed as -- opaque types from this module. This gives a certain amount of type -- safety when working with these quantities. A user should, whenever -- possible, only use this module. For the rare case when some -- non-trivial operations need to be defined, we expose the internal -- module "Naqsha.Geometry.Internal". However, use this interface with -- caution.
