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). |
