This -includes cartographic projections as well as geodetic transformations. - -PROJ includes :ref:`command line applications<apps>` for easy conversion of -coordinates from text files or directly from user input. In addition to the -command line utilities PROJ also exposes an -:ref:`application programming interface<reference>`, or API in short. The API -lets developers use the functionality of PROJ in their own software without having -to implement similar functionality themselves. - -PROJ started purely as a cartography application letting users convert geodetic -coordinates into projected coordinates using a number of different cartographic -projections. Over the years, as the need has become apparent, support for datum -shifts has slowly worked its way into PROJ as well. Today PROJ supports more -than a hundred different map projections and can transform coordinates between -datums using all but the most obscure geodetic techniques. - - .. image:: ../images/OSGeo_community.png - :scale: 30 % - :alt: OSGeo Community +.. include:: about_core.rst + +.. image:: ../images/OSGeo_community.png + :scale: 30 % + :alt: OSGeo Community Citation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @@ -31,6 +15,8 @@ Citation .. include:: ../../CITATION +.. _license: + License ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
