Intersections on ellipsoids #28

Open njwilson23 opened 8 years ago

njwilson23 commented 8 years ago

Current intersection code is for the planar case, and in incorrect on a sphere/ellipsoid. An approach to solving the problem with gnomonic projections is described by Karney (2013), section 8.

Changed title to reflect the fact that intersections on spherical geographical coordinate systems works fine.
