The Proj class can convert from geographic (longitude,latitude) to
|
|
|
|
|
native map projection (x,y) coordinates and vice versa, or from one
|
|
|
|
|
map projection coordinate system directly to another.

The Geod class can perform forward and inverse geodetic, or Great
|
|
|
|
|
Circle, computations. The forward computation involves determining
|
|
|
|
|
latitude, longitude and back azimuth of a terminus point given
|
|
|
|
|
the latitude and longitude of an initial point, plus azimuth and
|
|
|
|
|
distance. The inverse computation involves determining the forward and
|
|
|
|
|
back azimuths and distance given the latitudes and longitudes of an
|
|
|
|
|
initial and terminus point.

Input coordinates can be given as python arrays, lists/tuples, scalars
|
|
|
|
|
or numpy/Numeric/numarray arrays. Optimized for objects that support
|
|
|
|
|
the Python buffer protocol (regular python and numpy array objects).
