Coordinate reference systems (CRS)#

The crs module defines Coordinate Reference Systems and the transformations between them.

Base CRS’s#

`CRS`(proj4_params[, globe])	Define a Coordinate Reference System using proj.
`Globe`([datum, ellipse, semimajor_axis, ...])	Define an ellipsoid and, optionally, how to relate it to the real world.
`Projection`(args, *kwargs)	Define a projected coordinate system with flat topology and Euclidean distance.
`Geodetic`([globe])	Define a latitude/longitude coordinate system with spherical topology, geographical distance and coordinates are measured in degrees.
`Geocentric`([globe])	Define a Geocentric coordinate system, where x, y, z are Cartesian coordinates from the center of the Earth.
`RotatedGeodetic`(pole_longitude, pole_latitude)	Define a rotated latitude/longitude coordinate system with spherical topology and geographical distance.
`epsg`(code)	Return the projection which corresponds to the given EPSG code.

Geodesic calculations#

This module defines the Geodesic class which can interface with the Proj geodesic functions. See the Proj geodesic page for more background information.

Geodesic([radius, flattening])

Define an ellipsoid on which to solve geodesic problems.
