RedCorners.Components.CoordsWords 5.10.0

Convert map coordinates to a sequence of words and back.

NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/RedCorners.Components.CoordsWords

GitHub: https://github.com/samafshari/RedCorners.Components.CoordsWords

Getting Started

Install the NuGet and use the RedCorners.Components namespace:

using RedCorners.Components;
var coordsWords = new CoordsWords();

You can convert a pair of latitude and longitudes to a sequence of words like this:

coordsWords.Latitude = latitude;
coordsWords.Longitude = longitude;
string[] sequence = coordsWords.Words;

You can convert back the sequence of words to the coordinates like this:

coordsWords.Words = sequence;
var latitude = coordsWords.Latitude;
var longitude = coordsWords.Longitude;

By default, the library comes with a list of English words. You can use an arbitrary array of strings instead of the default index. There are no limitations to what you can use, other than having more than one entries, and no repetitions:

var lines = File.ReadAllLines("words.txt");
var coordsWords = new CoordsWords(lines);

The more words in your index file, the less words the output sequence will have. The default index results in sequences with four words.

It is strongly recommended to use a custom index file, as the default index may change between releases, resulting in changes in the outputted sequence for a given input.
