Using Geodesy.jl to convert lat long to x y using Albers projection?

Open dldx opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

Hi,

I'm trying to understand whether or not it is possible to use this package to convert a bunch of lat long data into x and y coordinates using the Albers equal area projection. At the moment, I'm importing basemap (a python package) into Julia to do this but it would be nice to have a native solution. I can't quite work out if it is actually possible using Geodesy though... Is there a simple example I can use as a guide?

Cheers, Durand

At the moment we have Mercator (UTM) projections (and lat/lon, ECEF, ENU) only.

It would be cool to support more projections natively.

Gotcha, thanks for the info. I wish I could contribute it but I don't know enough about projection maths!

Not native Julia, but perhaps a little less indirect/faster than basemap, you can also use Proj4.jl (in JuliaGeo).

Thanks, will give that a try too :)
