stateplane 0.1.1

Convert between state plane projections and long/lat

pystateplane

Get the local state plane projection for geographica coordinates, and automatically convert between coordinates and the local state plane projection.

Includes state plane projections for the 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam and the US Virgin Islands.

Find the local state plane system:

import stateplane

# Returns the EPSG value for this (lon, lat)
stateplane.identify(-73.2, 43.2)
# 32145

# Return a short name for the projection
stateplane.identify(-88.2, 41.2, 'short')
# 'IL_E'

# Speed up the process by specifying a state FIPS code
stateplane.identify(-88.2, 41.2, 'short', statefp='17')
# 'IL_E'

stateplane.identify(-80.1, 36.2, fmt='short')
# 'NC'

# returns the FIPS code of the projection
stateplane.identify(-80.1, 36.2, fmt='fips')
'3200'

Convert to the (easting, northing) of the local state plane:

stateplane.from_lonlat(-80.1, 36.2)
(510673.2830651368, 272340.60789450357)

stateplane.from_lonlat(-75.2, 40.2)
(817080.8169336573, 99364.28495057777)

stateplane.identify(-75.2, 40.2, fmt='short')
'PA_S'

Functions

stateplane.identify(lon, lat, fmt=None, statefp=None)

from_latlon(lat, lon, epsg=None, fips=None, abbr=None, statefp=None)

from_lonlat(lon, lat, epsg=None, fips=None, abbr=None, statefp=None)

For these functions, epsg, fips or abbr can be used to specify a projection. The statefp parameter can be used to specify a state (or territory), while results in more efficient checking.

to_latlon(easting, northing, epsg=None, fips=None, abbr=None)

to_lonlat(easting, northing, epsg=None, fips=None, abbr=None)

For these functions, as least one of epsg, fips and abbr must be provided.
