example ellipsoidalVincenty.py does not work

[GliderGeek]

the following example can be found on the top of the file:

Here's an example usage of Vincenty:

      >>> from geodesy.ellipsoidalVincenty import LatLon
      >>> Newport_RI = LatLon(41.49008, -71.312796)
      >>> Cleveland_OH = LatLon(41.499498, -81.695391)
      >>> print(Newport_RI.distance(Cleveland_OH))
      866,457.166175  # meter == 538.3904451566326 miles

LatLon object does not have the distance() function. Probably this should be distanceTo()

The method names in the Python version may be different from the original JS version. If so, the original JS name should also as well.

[mrJean1]

There are 2 distance methods for ellipsoidal Vincenty LatLon called distanceTo and distanceTo3. But there is no method called distance.

Also, that very same test is included in the tests directory, see module testElipsoidal.py results test 1 under testing geodesy.ellipsoidalVincenty and module tests.py under method testVincenty.

[GliderGeek]

why did you close the issue? the wrong example is still in the file.

[mrJean1]

My misunderstanding. Module ellipsoidalVincenty has been corrected.

Thank you.
