- 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).
