# NAME

GIS::Distance::GeoEllipsoid - Geo::Ellipsoid distance calculations.

# SYNOPSIS

```perl
# Use the default WGS84 ellipsoid:
my $gis = GIS::Distance->new( 'GeoEllipsoid' );

# Set the ellipsoid:
my $gis = GIS::Distance->new( 'GeoEllipsoid', 'NAD27' );
```

# DESCRIPTION

This module is a wrapper around [Geo::Ellipsoid](https://metacpan.org/pod/Geo%3A%3AEllipsoid) for [GIS::Distance](https://metacpan.org/pod/GIS%3A%3ADistance).

Normally this module is not used directly.  Instead [GIS::Distance](https://metacpan.org/pod/GIS%3A%3ADistance)
is used which in turn interfaces with the various formula classes.

# OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

## ellipsoid

```perl
my $gis = GIS::Distance->new( 'GeoEllipsoid', 'NAD27' );
```

Pass the name of an ellipsoid, per ["DEFINED ELLIPSOIDS" in Geo::Ellipsoid](https://metacpan.org/pod/Geo%3A%3AEllipsoid#DEFINED-ELLIPSOIDS).

If not set the default ellipsoid, `WGS84`, will be used.
