Method Details

__init__ (self, lat0, lon0, datum=None, **name)
(Constructor)

 

New azimuthal projection.

Arguments:
  • lat0 - Latitude of the center point (degrees90).
  • lon0 - Longitude of the center point (degrees180).
  • datum - Optional datum or ellipsoid (Datum, Ellipsoid, Ellipsoid2 or a_f2Tuple) or scalar earth radius (meter).
  • name - Optional name=NN for the projection (str).
Raises:
  • AzimuthalError - Invalid lat0 or lon0 or (spherical) datum.
  • TypeError - Invalid datum.
Overrides: object.__init__

forward (self, lat, lon, **name)

 

Convert a geodetic location to azimuthal orthographic east- and northing.

Arguments:
  • lat - Latitude of the location (degrees90).
  • lon - Longitude of the location (degrees180).
  • name - Optional name=NN for the location (str).
Returns:
An Azimuthal7Tuple(x, y, lat, lon, azimuth, scale, datum) with easting x and northing y of point in meter and lat and lon in degrees and azimuth clockwise from true North. The scale of the projection is 1 in radial direction and is 1 / reciprocal in the direction perpendicular to this.
Raises:
Overrides: _AzimuthalBase.forward

reverse (self, x, y, LatLon=None, **name_LatLon_kwds)

 

Convert an azimuthal orthographic location to geodetic lat- and longitude.

Arguments:
  • x - Easting of the location (meter).
  • y - Northing of the location (meter).
  • LatLon - Class to use (LatLon) or None.
  • name_LatLon_kwds - Optional name=NN for the location and optional, additional LatLon keyword arguments, ignored if LatLon is None.
Returns:
The geodetic (LatLon) or if LatLon is None an Azimuthal7Tuple(x, y, lat, lon, azimuth, scale, datum).
Overrides: _AzimuthalBase.reverse

Note: The lat will be in the range [-90..90] degrees and lon in the range [-180..180] degrees. The scale of the projection is 1 in radial direction, azimuth clockwise from true North and is 1 / reciprocal in the direction perpendicular to this.
