safe.storage.projection module¶

Class projection

class safe.storage.projection.Projection(p)[source]¶

Represents projections associated with layers

get_projection(proj4=False)[source]¶

Return projection

Args:

• proj4: If True, projection will be returned in proj4 format.

  If False (default) projection will be returned in WKT format

Note:

To compare projections, use the __eq__ method directly on the projection objects: E.g. self.projection == other.projection

safe.storage.projection.proj4_to_dict(P)[source]¶

Helper to turn a proj4 string into a dictionary for ease of comparison See issue #304

Args:

P: proj4 string, such as +proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +no_defs

Returns

dictionary of individual elements, e.g. {‘+proj’: ‘longlat’,

‘+ellps’: ‘WGS84’, ‘+no_defs’: ‘’}
