azimuth
Azimuth between points on sphere or ellipsoid
Syntax
Description
calculates the great circle azimuth from the point with geographic coordinates
az
= azimuth(lat1
,lon1
,lat2
,lon2
)lat1
and lon1
to the point with geographic
coordinates lat2
and lon2
. The function measures
azimuths clockwise from north. This syntax references the coordinates to a sphere and
returns az
in degrees.
