This +includes cartographic projections as well as geodetic transformations. PROJ +is released under the <a class="reference internal" href="about.html#license"><span class="std std-ref">X/MIT open source license</span></a></p> +<p>PROJ includes <a class="reference internal" href="apps/index.html#apps"><span class="std std-ref">command line applications</span></a> for easy conversion of +coordinates from text files or directly from user input. In addition to the +command line utilities PROJ also exposes an +<a class="reference internal" href="development/reference/index.html#reference"><span class="std std-ref">application programming interface</span></a>, or API in short. The API +lets developers use the functionality of PROJ in their own software without having +to implement similar functionality themselves.</p> +<p>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.</p> + + + </div> + </div> + <footer> + + <hr/> + + <div role="contentinfo"> + <p>© Copyright 1983-2022. + <span class="lastupdated">Last updated on 22 Mar 2022. + </span></p> + </div> + + Built with <a href="https://www.sphinx-doc.org/">Sphinx</a> using a + <a href="https://github.com/readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme">theme</a> + provided by <a href="https://readthedocs.org">Read the Docs</a>. + + +</footer> + </div> + </div> + </section> + </div> + <script> + jQuery(function () { + SphinxRtdTheme.Navigation.enable(true); + }); + </script> + +</body> +</html>
