  1. Performs cartographic transformations and geodetic computations.
  2. The Proj class can convert from geographic (longitude,latitude) to
  3. native map projection (x,y) coordinates and vice versa, or from one
  4. map projection coordinate system directly to another.
  5. The Geod class can perform forward and inverse geodetic, or Great
  6. Circle, computations. The forward computation involves determining
  7. latitude, longitude and back azimuth of a terminus point given
  8. the latitude and longitude of an initial point, plus azimuth and
  9. distance. The inverse computation involves determining the forward and
  10. back azimuths and distance given the latitudes and longitudes of an
  11. initial and terminus point.
  12. Input coordinates can be given as python arrays, lists/tuples, scalars
  13. or numpy/Numeric/numarray arrays. Optimized for objects that support
  14. the Python buffer protocol (regular python and numpy array objects).
