In an application, you often need to make these calculations:

  • Calculate the distance between two points

  • Calculate the azimuth to go from one point to another.

  • Calculate a point from a given start point, azimuth and distance.

These calculations depend on the used coordinate system and on the interpretation of a line. You need to create them for a specific combination of a coordinate system and interpretation of the line type.
