class
polar_for_sphinx.Polar(distance=0.0, bearing=0.0)¶ specifies a 2D position or velocity in polar coordinates
This class represents a 2D position or velocity measured in polar coordinates and defined by its distance (or speed) and an angle (bearing) (in radians) from the positive y (‘North’) direction.
We follow the conventions of navigation, not mathematics, so 0 degrees is North and bearings increase in a clockwise fashion.
