- 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).
