# Calling the GeographicLib C++ library from other languages
|
|
|
|
Here are some examples of calling the C++ library from other languages
|
|
such as C, Octave, and Python.
|
|
|
|
Although the geodesic capabilities of GeographicLib have been
|
|
implemented natively in several languages. There are no plans to do the
|
|
same for its other capabilities since this leads to a large continuing
|
|
obligation for maintenance and documentation. (Note however that thet
|
|
Octave/MATLAB library includes additional capabilities, UTM, MGRS, etc.)
|
|
|
|
An alternative strategy is to call the C++ library directly from
|
|
another language, possibly via some "wrapper" routines. This can be a
|
|
good strategy for a user who only wants to call a few GeographicLib
|
|
routines from another language.
|
|
|
|
Please contribute other examples, either for the languages given here or
|
|
for other languages.
