Description

Calculates for all segments of the input lines the planar, great elliptic, and loxodrome distance and re-projects the latter two to the projection of the input lines.

Parameters

	Name	Type	Identifier	Description	Constraints
Output	Geographic Distances	shapes, output	`DISTANCES`	-	-
Options	Definition String	text	`CRS_STRING`	Supported formats comprise PROJ and WKT strings, object codes (e.g. "EPSG:4326").	Default: +proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +no_defs
	Well Known Text File	file path	`CRS_FILE`	-	-
	X	floating point number	`COORD_X1`	-	Default: 10.000000
	Y	floating point number	`COORD_Y1`	-	Default: 53.500000
	X	floating point number	`COORD_X2`	-	Default: 116.500000
	Y	floating point number	`COORD_Y2`	-	Default: 6.400000
	Epsilon	floating point number	`EPSILON`	defines the maximum resolution [km] for the re-projected distance segments	Minimum: 1.000000 Default: 100.000000
