pyGFC - A Python Extension to the C++ Geodesy Foundation Classes

Abstract

This report describes the results of the development of the pyGFC module, including the multi-step procedure and the implemented computer code. The pyGFC module is a Python extension to the C++ Geodesy Foundation Class, which has been used in the range model of the Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) Emulation (MANE) software system that enables the dynamic connectivity of a MANET system in the Wireless Emulation Laboratory of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL). The pyGFC module was created to support the visualization of network topologies using the ARL Topodef tool, a graphical design and animation tool for custom-designing and editing a mobility scenario to create specific network topologies.
