## Description

GypsyAccuracy is used whenever the client program wishes to know about GPS accuracy changes. It can report the current accuracy, and has a signal to notify listeners to changes. The accuracy consists of positional accuracy, horizontal accuracy (on the latitude/longitude plane) and vertical (altitudinal) accuracy.

A GypsyAccuracy object is created using `gypsy_accuracy_new()` using the D-Bus path of the GPS device. This path is returned from the `gypsy_control_create()` function. The client can then find out about the course with `gypsy_accuracy_get_accuracy()`.

As the accuracy information changes GypsyAccuracy will emit the accuracy-changed signal. This signal contains the accuracy information if gypsy-daemon knows it. It has a fields paramater which is a bitmask of GypsyAccuracyFields which indicates which of the position, horizontal or vertical contains valid information.

## Details

### GypsyAccuracy

    typedef struct _GypsyAccuracy GypsyAccuracy;

There are no public fields in GypsyAccuracy.

### GYPSY_ACCURACY_DBUS_SERVICE

    #define GYPSY_ACCURACY_DBUS_SERVICE "org.freedesktop.Gypsy"

A define containing the address of the Accuracy service

### GYPSY_ACCURACY_DBUS_INTERFACE

    #define GYPSY_ACCURACY_DBUS_INTERFACE "org.freedesktop.Gypsy.Accuracy"

A define containing the name of the Accuracy interface

### enum GypsyAccuracyFields

    typedef enum {
    	GYPSY_ACCURACY_FIELDS_NONE = 0,
    	GYPSY_ACCURACY_FIELDS_POSITION = 1 << 0,
    	GYPSY_ACCURACY_FIELDS_HORIZONTAL = 1 << 1,
    	GYPSY_ACCURACY_FIELDS_VERTICAL = 1 << 2,
    } GypsyAccuracyFields;

A bitmask telling which fields in the accuracy_changed callback are valid

`GYPSY_ACCURACY_FIELDS_NONE` | None of the fields are valid
`GYPSY_ACCURACY_FIELDS_POSITION` | The Position (3D) DOP field is valid
`GYPSY_ACCURACY_FIELDS_HORIZONTAL` | The Horizonal (2D) DOP field is valid
`GYPSY_ACCURACY_FIELDS_VERTICAL` | The Vertical (altitude) DOP field is valid

### gypsy_accuracy_new ()

    GypsyAccuracy *     gypsy_accuracy_new                  (const char *object_path);

Creates a new GypsyAccuracy object that listens for accuracy changes from the GPS found at `object_path`.

`object_path` : | Object path to the GPS device
Returns : | A GypsyAccuracy object

### gypsy_accuracy_get_accuracy ()

    GypsyAccuracyFields gypsy_accuracy_get_accuracy         (GypsyAccuracy *accuracy,
                                                             double *pdop,
                                                             double *hdop,
                                                             double *vdop,
                                                             GError **error);

Obtains the current accuracy, if known, from the GPS device. `pdop`, `hdop` and `vdop` can be NULL if the result is not required.

`accuracy` : | A GypsyAccuracy
`pdop` : | Pointer to store the position DOP
`hdop` : | Pointer to store the horizonal DOP
`vdop` : | Pointer to store the vertical DOP
`error` : | Pointer to store a GError
Returns : | Bitmask of GypsyAccuracyFields indicating what fields were set

## Property Details

### The `"object-path"` property

      "object-path"              gchar*                : Write / Construct Only

The path of the Gypsy GPS object

Default value: ""

## Signal Details

### The `"accuracy-changed"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GypsyAccuracy *fields,
                                                            gint           pdop,

                                                            gdouble        vdop,
                                                            gdouble        arg4,
                                                            gpointer       user_data)      : No Recursion

The ::accuracy-changed signal is emitted when the GPS device indicates that one or more of the accuracy fields has changed. The fields which have changed will be indicated in the `fields` bitmask.

`fields` : | A bitmask of GypsyAccuracyFields indicating which of the following fields are valid
`pdop` : | The new position DOP
`hdop` : | The new horizonal DOP
`vdop` : | The new vertical DOP
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
