PlateCarree

class cartopy.crs.PlateCarree(central_longitude=0.0, globe=None)[source]

LambertConformal

class cartopy.crs.LambertConformal(central_longitude=-96.0, central_latitude=39.0, false_easting=0.0, false_northing=0.0, secant_latitudes=(33, 45), globe=None, cutoff=-30)[source]

A Lambert Conformal conic projection.

Kwargs:

  • central_longitude - The central longitude. Defaults to 0.

  • central_latitude - The central latitude. Defaults to 0.

  • false_easting - X offset from planar origin in metres.

    Defaults to 0.

  • false_northing - Y offset from planar origin in metres.

    Defaults to 0.

  • secant_latitudes - The two latitudes of secant intersection.

    Defaults to (33, 45).

  • globe - A cartopy.crs.Globe.

    If omitted, a default globe is created.

  • cutoff - Latitude of map cutoff.

    The map extends to infinity opposite the central pole so we must cut off the map drawing before then. A value of 0 will draw half the globe. Defaults to -30.

Mercator

class cartopy.crs.Mercator(central_longitude=0.0, min_latitude=-80.0, max_latitude=84.0, globe=None)[source]

A Mercator projection.

Kwargs:

  • central_longitude - the central longitude. Defaults to 0.

  • min_latitude - the maximum southerly extent of the projection.

    Defaults to -80 degrees.

  • max_latitude - the maximum northerly extent of the projection.

    Defaults to 84 degrees.

  • globe - A cartopy.crs.Globe.

    If omitted, a default globe is created.

A Transverse Mercator projection.

Kwargs:

  • central_longitude - The true longitude of the central meridian in

    degrees. Defaults to 0.

  • central_latitude - The true latitude of the planar origin in

    degrees. Defaults to 0.

  • false_easting - X offset from the planar origin in metres.

    Defaults to 0.

  • false_northing - Y offset from the planar origin in metres.

    Defaults to 0.

  • scale_factor - Scale factor at the central meridian. Defaults

    to 1.

  • globe - An instance of cartopy.crs.Globe. If omitted, a

    default globe is created.
