Distances/Angles from Coordinates

This procedure can calculate two relationships between coordinate pairs: the distance and (for 2- and 3-dimensional coordinates) the angle(s) between them. Each will result in an n × n matrix containing the calculated values, where n is the number of coordinate pairs.

 

 

You may choose whether to have PASSaGE calculate geographic distances, angular distances, or both. If your coordinates are latitudes and longitudes, you may also choose whether to calculate the distances/angles using Euclidean or spherical measures. The resultant matrices are stored in memory and may be used in other analyses.
