  my $obj = Geo::Ellipsoids->new();
  $obj->set('WGS84'); #default
  print "a=", $obj->a, "\n";
  print "b=", $obj->b, "\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=cut

use strict;
use vars qw($VERSION);
use constant DEFAULT_ELIPS => 'WGS84';
use Geo::Constants qw{PI};
use Geo::Functions qw{rad_deg};

$VERSION = sprintf("%d.%02d", q{Revision: 0.16} =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)/);

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

=head2 new

The new() constructor may be called with any parameter that is appropriate to the set method.

  my $obj = Geo::Ellipsoid->new();

=cut

sub new {
  my $this = shift();
  my $class = ref($this) || $this;
  my $self = {};
  bless $self, $class;
  $self->initialize(@_);
  return $self;
}

=head1 METHODS

=cut

sub initialize {
  my $self = shift();
  my $param = shift();
  $self->set($param);
}

=head2 set

Method sets the current ellipsoid.  This method is called when the object is constructed (default is WGS84).

  $obj->set(); #default WGS84
  $obj->set('Clarke 1866'); #All built in ellipsoids are stored in meters
  $obj->set({a=>1, b=>1});  #Custom Sphere 1 unit radius

=cut

sub set {
  my $self=shift();
  my $param=shift()||DEFAULT_ELIPS;
  undef($self->{'shortname'});
  undef($self->{'longname'});
  if ("HASH" eq ref($param)) {
    return $self->_setref($param);
  } elsif ('' eq ref($param)) {
    return $self->_setname($param);
  } else {
    die("Error: Parameter must be the name of an ellipsoid or a hash reference");
  } 
}

=head2 list

Method returns a list of known elipsoid names.

  my @list=$obj->list;

  my $list=$obj->list;
  while (@$list) {
    print "$_\n";
  }

=cut 

sub list {
  my $self=shift();
  my $data=$self->data;
  my @keys=keys %$data;
  return wantarray ? @keys : \@keys;
}

=head2 a

Method returns the value of the semi-major axis.

  my $a=$obj->a;

=cut

sub a {
  my $self=shift();
  return $self->{'a'} || die('Error: $self->{"a"} must be defined here');
}

=head2 b

Method returns the value of the semi-minor axis.

  my $b=$obj->b;  #b=a(1-f)

=cut

sub b {
  my $self=shift();
  if (defined $self->{'b'}) {
    return $self->{'b'};
  } elsif (defined $self->{'f'}) {
    return $self->{'a'}*(1-$self->{'f'});
  } elsif (defined $self->{'i'}) {
    return $self->{'a'}*(1-1/$self->{'i'});
  } else {
    return undef();
  }
}

=head2 f

Method returns the value of flatting

  my $f=$obj->f;  #f=(a-b)/a

=cut

sub f {
  my $self=shift();
  if (defined $self->{'f'}) {
    return $self->{'f'};
  } elsif (defined $self->{'b'}) {
    return ($self->{'a'}-$self->{'b'})/$self->{'a'};
  } elsif (defined $self->{'i'}) {
    return 1/$self->{'i'};
  } else {
    return undef();
  }
}

=head2 i

Method returns the value of the inverse flatting

  my $i=$obj->i; #i=1/f=a/(a-b)

=cut

sub i {
  my $self=shift();
  if (defined $self->{'i'}) {
    return $self->{'i'};
  } elsif (defined $self->{'b'}) {
    if ($self->{'a'} == $self->{'b'}) {
      return undef();
    } else {
      return $self->{'a'}/($self->{'a'}-$self->{'b'});
    }
  } elsif (defined $self->{'f'}) {
    return 1/$self->{'f'};
  } else {
    return undef();
  }
}

=head2 invf

Method synonym for the i method

  my $i=$obj->invf; #i=1/f

=cut

sub invf {
  my $self = shift();
  return $self->i(@_);
}

=head2 e

Method returns the value of the first eccentricity, e.  This is the eccentricity of the earth's elliptical cross-section.

  my $e=$obj->e;

=cut

sub e {
  my $self=shift();
  return sqrt($self->e2);
}

=head2 e2

Method returns the value of eccentricity squared (e.g. e^2). This is not the second eccentricity, e' or e-prime see the "ep" method.

  my $e=sqrt($obj->e2); #e^2 = f(2-f) = 2f-f^2 = 1-b^2/a^2

=cut

sub e2 {
  my $self=shift();
  my $f=$self->f();
  return $f*(2 - $f);
}

=head2 ep

Method returns the value of the second eccentricity, e' or e-prime.  The second eccentricity is related to the first eccentricity by the equation: 1=(1-e^2)(1+e'^2).

  my $ep=$obj->ep;

=cut

sub ep {
  my $self=shift();
  return sqrt($self->ep2);
}

=head2 ep2

Method returns the square of value of second eccentricity, e' (e-prime).  This is more useful in almost all equations.

  my $ep=sqrt($obj->ep2);  #ep2=(ea/b)^2=e2/(1-e2)=a^2/b^2-1

=cut

sub ep2 {
  my $self=shift();
  my $a=$self->a();
  my $b=$self->b();
  return $a**2/$b**2 - 1;
}

=head2 n

Method returns the value of n given latitude (degrees).  Typically represented by the Greek letter nu, this is the radius of curvature of the ellipsoid perpendicular to the meridian plane.  It is also the distance from the point in question to the polar axis, measured perpendicular to the ellipsoid's surface.

  my $n=$obj->n($lat);

Note: Some define a variable n as (a-b)/(a+b) this is not that variable.

Note: It appears that n can also be calculated as 

  n=a^2/sqrt(a^2 * cos($lat)^2 + $b^2 * sin($lat)^2);

=cut

sub n {
  my $self=shift();
  my $lat=shift(); #degrees
  die("Error: Latitude (degrees) required.") unless defined $lat;
  return $self->n_rad(rad_deg($lat));
}

=head2 n_rad

Method returns the value of n given latitude (radians).

  my $n=$obj->n_rad($lat);

  my $a=$self->a;
  my $e2=$self->e2;
  return $a / sqrt(1 - $e2 * sin($lat)**2);
}

=head2 rho

rho is the radius of curvature of the earth in the meridian plane.

  my $rho=$obj->rho($lat);

=cut

sub rho {
  my $self=shift();
  my $lat=shift(); #degrees
  die("Error: Latitude (degrees) required.") unless defined $lat;
  return $self->rho_rad(rad_deg($lat));
}

=head2 rho_rad

=head1 TODO

What should we do about bad input?  I tend to die in the module which for most situations is fine.  I guess you could always overload die to handle exceptions for web based solutions and the like.

Support for ellipsoid aliases in the data structure

=head1 BUGS

Please send to the geo-perl email list.

=head1 LIMITS

No guarantees that Perl handles all of the double precision calculations in the same manner as Fortran.
