ProjPicker

PyPI version Documentation Status

ProjPicker (projection picker) is a Python module that allows the user to select all coordinate reference systems (CRSs) whose extent completely contains given points, polylines, polygons, and bounding boxes using set-theoretic logical operators in a postfix notation. The goal is to make it easy and visual to select a desired projection by location. This project was motivated by a GRASS GIS feature request. See its documentation. The project uses a copy of GetOSM to download OpenStreetMap tiles.

ProjPicker Web is online at https://projpicker.pythonanywhere.com/.

For GRASS GIS, a new module g.projpicker that wraps around this project is available.

Ideas

  1. Client-only web application that doesn't require Python in the backend
  2. CRS hints: Crowdsourcing agency and product information? Is usage from PROJ enough?
