class QgsDistanceArea
{
%Docstring
A general purpose distance and area calculator, capable of performing ellipsoid based calculations.

Measurements can either be performed on existing QgsGeometry objects, or using
lists of points.

If a valid ellipsoid() has been set for the QgsDistanceArea, all calculations will be
performed using ellipsoidal algorithms (e.g. using Vincenty's formulas). If no
ellipsoid has been set, all calculations will be performed using Cartesian
formulas only. The behavior can be determined by calling willUseEllipsoid().

In order to perform accurate calculations, the source coordinate reference system
of all measured geometries must first be specified using setSourceCrs().

Usually, the measurements returned by QgsDistanceArea are in meters. If no valid
ellipsoid is set, then the units may not be meters. The units can be retrieved
by calling lengthUnits() and areaUnits().

.. note::

   code (and documentation) taken from rttopo project
https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/rttopo/librttopo
- spheroid_project.spheroid_project(...)
-  Valid bounds checking for degrees (latitude=+- 85.05115) is based values used for
-> 'WGS84 Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere)' calculations
