scientimate.distancecart

distxy, theta = scientimate.distancecart(x1, y1, x2, y2, CalcMethod='1d', dispout='no')

Description

Calculate distance from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2) on cartesian coordinate

Inputs

x1
x of start point (first point)
y1
y of start point (first point)
x2
x of end point (last point)
y2
y of end point (last point)
CalcMethod=’1d’
Distance calculation method
‘1d’: use 1d array
‘pdist2’: Use 2d distance function
‘vector’: Use vectorized distance
dispout=’no’
Define to display outputs or not (‘yes’: display, ‘no’: not display)

Outputs

distxy
Distance from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2)
returns M*N array where M=length(x1) and N=length(x2)
mth row associated with mth point in (x,y)
nth column is associated with nth point in (x2,y2)
theta
Angle from start point to end point in (Degree)
returns M*N array where M=length(x1) and N=length(x2)
mth row associated with mth point in (x,y)
nth column is associated with nth point in (x2,y2)

Examples

import scientimate as sm
import numpy as np

x1=10*np.random.rand(100)
y1=10*np.random.rand(100)
x2=[2.5,5,7.5]
y2=[3,6,9]
distxy,theta=sm.distancecart(x1,y1,x2,y2,'1d','yes')

x1=10*np.random.rand(100)
y1=10*np.random.rand(100)
x2=100*np.random.rand(10)
y2=100*np.random.rand(10)
distxy,theta=sm.distancecart(x1,y1,x2,y2,'pdist2','yes')
