Performs cartographic transformations and geodetic computations.

|
|
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).
