// Example: Custom coordinate system example
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/geometry/geometry.hpp>
// 1: declare a coordinate system. For example for Mars
// Like for the Earth, we let the use choose between degrees or radians
// (Unfortunately, in real life Mars has two coordinate systems:
// http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Page/MARS/system)
template<typename DegreeOrRadian>
struct martian
{
typedef DegreeOrRadian units;
};
// 2: give it also a family
struct martian_tag;
// 3: register to which coordinate system family it belongs to
// this must be done in namespace boost::geometry::traits
namespace boost { namespace geometry { namespace traits
{
template <typename DegreeOrRadian>
struct cs_tag<martian<DegreeOrRadian> >
{
typedef martian_tag type;
};
}}} // namespaces
// NOTE: if the next steps would not be here,
// compiling a distance function call with martian coordinates
// would result in a MPL assertion
// 4: so register a distance strategy as its default strategy
namespace boost { namespace geometry { namespace strategy { namespace distance { namespace services
{
template <typename Point1, typename Point2>
struct default_strategy<point_tag, point_tag, Point1, Point2, martian_tag, martian_tag>
{
typedef haversine<double> type;
};
}}}}} // namespaces
// 5: not worked out. To implement a specific distance strategy for Mars,
// e.g. with the Mars radius given by default,
// you will have to implement (/register) several other metafunctions:
// tag, return_type, similar_type, comparable_type,
// and structs:
// get_similar, get_comparable, result_from_distance
// See e.g. .../boost/geometry/extensions/gis/geographic/strategies/andoyer.hpp
