group harp_geometry
- The HARP Geometry module contains public functions for dealing with polygons and points on a spherical surface. - Functions - 
int harp_geometry_get_point_distance(double latitude_a, double longitude_a, double latitude_b, double longitude_b, double *distance)
- Calculate the distance between two points on the surface of the Earth in meters - This function assumes a spherical earth - Return
- 0, Success.
- -1, Error occurred (check harp_errno).
 
- Parameters
- latitude_a: Latitude of first point
- longitude_a: Longitude of first point
- latitude_b: Latitude of second point
- longitude_b: Longitude of second point
- distance: Pointer to the C variable where the surface distance in [m] between the two points will be stored.

int harp_geometry_has_point_in_area(double latitude_point, double longitude_point, int num_vertices, double *latitude_bounds, double *longitude_bounds, int *in_area)
- Determine whether a point is in an area on the surface of the Earth - This function assumes a spherical earth. - The latitude/longitude bounds can be either vertices of a polygon (num_vertices>=3) or represent corner points that define a bounding rect (num_vertices==2). - Return
- 0, Success.
- -1, Error occurred (check harp_errno).
 
- Parameters
- latitude_point: Latitude of the point
- longitude_point: Longitude of the point
- num_vertices: The number of vertices of the bounding polygon/rect of the area
- latitude_bounds: Latitude values of the bounds of the area polygon/rect
- longitude_bounds: Longitude values of the bounds of the area polygon/rect
- in_area: Pointer to the C variable where the result will be stored (1 if point is in the area, 0 otherwise).

int harp_geometry_has_area_overlap(int num_vertices_a, double *latitude_bounds_a, double *longitude_bounds_a, int num_vertices_b, double *latitude_bounds_b, double *longitude_bounds_b, int *has_overlap, double *fraction)
- Determine whether a point is in an area on the surface of the Earth - This function assumes a spherical earth. The overlap fraction is calculated as area(intersection)/min(area(A),area(B)). - The latitude/longitude bounds for A and B can be either vertices of a polygon (num_vertices>=3), or represent corner points that define a bounding rect (num_vertices==2). - Return
- 0, Success.
- -1, Error occurred (check harp_errno).
 
- Parameters
- num_vertices_a: The number of vertices of the bounding polygon/rect of the first area
- latitude_bounds_a: Latitude values of the bounds of the area of the first polygon/rect
- longitude_bounds_a: Longitude values of the bounds of the area of the first polygon/rect
- num_vertices_b: The number of vertices of the bounding polygon/rect of the second area
- latitude_bounds_b: Latitude values of the bounds of the area of the second polygon/rect
- longitude_bounds_b: Longitude values of the bounds of the area of the second polygon/rect
- has_overlap: Pointer to the C variable where the result will be stored (1 if there is overlap, 0 otherwise).
- fraction: Pointer to the C variable where the overlap fraction will be stored (use NULL if not needed).

int harp_geometry_get_area(int num_vertices, double *latitude_bounds, double *longitude_bounds, double *area)
- Calculate the area size for a polygon on the surface of the Earth - This function assumes a spherical earth. - The latitude/longitude bounds for A and B can be either vertices of a polygon (num_vertices>=3), or represent corner points that define a bounding rect (num_vertices==2). - Return
- 0, Success.
- -1, Error occurred (check harp_errno).
 
- Parameters
- num_vertices: The number of vertices of the bounding polygon/rect
- latitude_bounds: Latitude values of the bounds of the polygon/rect
- longitude_bounds: Longitude values of the bounds of the polygon/rect
- area: Pointer to the C variable where the area size will be stored (in [m2]).
