Python: package pyproj

pyproj (version 1.8.7) | index /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyproj/__init__.py

`Pyrex wrapper to provide python interfaces to
PROJ.4 (http://proj.maptools.org) functions.
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).
Download: http://code.google.com/p/pyproj/downloads/list
Requirements: python 2.4 or higher.
Example scripts are in 'test' subdirectory of source distribution.
The 'test()' function will run the examples in the docstrings.

class Proj(_proj.Proj)
`` | `performs cartographic transformations (converts from longitude,latitude to native map projection x,y coordinates and vice versa) using proj (http://proj.maptools.org/) A Proj class instance is initialized with proj map projection control parameter key/value pairs. The key/value pairs can either be passed in a dictionary, or as keyword arguments, or as a proj4 string (compatible with the proj command). See http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/proj_list for examples of key/value pairs defining different map projections. Calling a Proj class instance with the arguments lon, lat will convert lon/lat (in degrees) to x/y native map projection coordinates (in meters). If optional keyword 'inverse' is True (default is False), the inverse transformation from x/y to lon/lat is performed. If optional keyword 'radians' is True (default is False) lon/lat are interpreted as radians instead of degrees. If optional keyword 'errcheck' is True (default is False) an exception is raised if the transformation is invalid. If errcheck=False and the transformation is invalid, no exception is raised and 1.e30 is returned. If the optional keyword 'preserve_units' is True, the units in map projection coordinates are not forced to be meters. Works with numpy and regular python array objects, python sequences and scalars.`

Functions
`` |  | set_datapath(...) test() `run the examples in the docstrings using the doctest module` transform(p1, p2, x, y, z=None, radians=False) `x2, y2, z2 = transform(p1, p2, x1, y1, z1, radians=False) Transform points between two coordinate systems defined by the Proj instances p1 and p2. The points x1,y1,z1 in the coordinate system defined by p1 are transformed to x2,y2,z2 in the coordinate system defined by p2. z1 is optional, if it is not set it is assumed to be zero (and only x2 and y2 are returned). In addition to converting between cartographic and geographic projection coordinates, this function can take care of datum shifts (which cannot be done using the __call__ method of the Proj instances). It also allows for one of the coordinate systems to be geographic (proj = 'latlong'). If optional keyword 'radians' is True (default is False) and p1 is defined in geographic coordinate (pj.is_latlong() is True), x1,y1 is interpreted as radians instead of the default degrees. Similarly, if p2 is defined in geographic coordinates and radians=True, x2, y2 are returned in radians instead of degrees. if p1.is_latlong() and p2.is_latlong() both are False, the radians keyword has no effect. x,y and z can be numpy or regular python arrays, python lists/tuples or scalars. Arrays are fastest. For projections in geocentric coordinates, values of x and y are given in meters. z is always meters.
