◆ lwgeom_azumith_spheroid()

double lwgeom_azumith_spheroid ( const LWPOINT r,
const LWPOINT s,
const SPHEROID spheroid 
)

Calculate a bearing (azimuth) given a source and destination point.

Calculate the bearing between two points on a spheroid.

Parameters
r- location of first point.
s- location of second point.
spheroid- spheroid definition.
Returns
azimuth - azimuth in radians.
