Returns:

a new context

PJ_CONTEXT *proj_context_clone(PJ_CONTEXT *ctx)

New in version 7.2.

Returns:

a new context

void proj_context_destroy(PJ_CONTEXT *ctx)

Deallocate a threading-context.

Parameters:

Transformation setup

The objects returned by the functions defined in this section have minimal interaction with the functions of the C API for ISO-19111 functionality, and vice versa. See its introduction paragraph for more details.

PJ *proj_create(PJ_CONTEXT *ctx, const char *definition)

Create a transformation object, or a CRS object, from:

Example call:

PJ *P = proj_create(0, "+proj=etmerc +lat_0=38 +lon_0=125 +ellps=bessel");

If a proj-string contains a +type=crs option, then it is interpreted as a CRS definition. In particular geographic CRS are assumed to have axis in the longitude, latitude order and with degree angular unit. The use of proj-string to describe a CRS is discouraged. It is a legacy means of conveying CRS descriptions: use of object codes (EPSG:XXXX typically) or WKT description is recommended for better expressivity.

If a proj-string does not contain +type=crs, then it is interpreted as a coordination operation / transformation.

If creation of the transformation object fails, the function returns 0 and the PROJ error number is updated. The error number can be read with proj_errno() or proj_context_errno().

The returned PJ-pointer should be deallocated with proj_destroy().

Parameters:
  • ctx (PJ_CONTEXT *) -- Threading context.

  • definition (const char*) -- Proj-string of the desired transformation.

PJ *proj_create_argv(PJ_CONTEXT *ctx, int argc, char **argv)

Create a transformation object, or a CRS object, with argc/argv-style initialization. For this application each parameter in the defining proj-string is an entry in argv.

Example call:

char *args[3] = {"proj=utm", "zone=32", "ellps=GRS80"};
PJ* P = proj_create_argv(0, 3, args);

If there is a type=crs argument, then the arguments are interpreted as a CRS definition. In particular geographic CRS are assumed to have axis in the longitude, latitude order and with degree angular unit.

If there is no type=crs argument, then it is interpreted as a coordination operation / transformation.

If creation of the transformation object fails, the function returns 0 and the PROJ error number is updated. The error number can be read with proj_errno() or proj_context_errno().

The returned PJ-pointer should be deallocated with proj_destroy().

Parameters:
  • ctx (PJ_CONTEXT *) -- Threading context.

  • argc (int) -- Count of arguments in argv

  • argv (char **) -- Array of strings with proj-string parameters, e.g. +proj=merc

Returns:

PJ *

PJ *proj_create_crs_to_crs(PJ_CONTEXT *ctx, const char *source_crs, const char *target_crs, PJ_AREA *area)

Create a transformation object that is a pipeline between two known coordinate reference systems.

source_crs and target_crs can be :

  • a "AUTHORITY:CODE", like EPSG:25832. When using that syntax for a source CRS, the created pipeline will expect that the values passed to proj_trans() respect the axis order and axis unit of the official definition ( so for example, for EPSG:4326, with latitude first and longitude next, in degrees). Similarly, when using that syntax for a target CRS, output values will be emitted according to the official definition of this CRS.

  • a PROJ string, like "+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84". When using that syntax, the axis order and unit for geographic CRS will be longitude, latitude, and the unit degrees.

  • the name of a CRS as found in the PROJ database, e.g "WGS84", "NAD27", etc.

  • more generally any string accepted by proj_create() representing a CRS

Starting with PROJ 9.2, source_crs (exclusively) or target_crs can be a CoordinateMetadata with an associated coordinate epoch.

Starting with PROJ 9.4, both source_crs and target_crs can be a CoordinateMetadata with an associated coordinate epoch, to perform changes of coordinate epochs. Note however than this is in practice limited to use of velocity grids inside the same dynamic CRS.

An "area of use" can be specified in area. When it is supplied, the more accurate transformation between two given systems can be chosen.

When no area of use is specific and several coordinate operations are possible depending on the area of use, this function will internally store those candidate coordinate operations in the return PJ object. Each subsequent coordinate transformation done with proj_trans() will then select the appropriate coordinate operation by comparing the input coordinates with the area of use of the candidate coordinate operations.

Example call:

PJ *P = proj_create_crs_to_crs(0, "EPSG:25832", "EPSG:25833", 0);

If creation of the transformation object fails, the function returns 0 and the PROJ error number is updated. The error number can be read with proj_errno() or proj_context_errno().

The returned PJ-pointer should be deallocated with proj_destroy().

Parameters:
  • ctx (PJ_CONTEXT *) -- Threading context.

  • source_crs (const char*) -- Source CRS or CoordinateMetadata.

  • target_crs (const char*) -- Destination SRS or CoordinateMetadata

  • area (PJ_AREA *) -- Descriptor of the desired area for the transformation.

Returns:

PJ *

PJ *proj_create_crs_to_crs_from_pj(PJ_CONTEXT *ctx, PJ *source_crs, PJ *target_crs, PJ_AREA *area, const char *const *options)

New in version 6.2.0.

Create a transformation object that is a pipeline between two known coordinate reference systems.

This is the same as proj_create_crs_to_crs() except that the source and target CRS are passed as PJ* objects which must be of the CRS variety.

Starting with PROJ 9.2, source_crs (exclusively) or target_crs can be a CoordinateMetadata with an associated coordinate epoch.

Starting with PROJ 9.4, both source_crs and target_crs can be a CoordinateMetadata with an associated coordinate epoch, to perform changes of coordinate epochs. Note however than this is in practice limited to use of velocity grids inside the same dynamic CRS.

Parameters:
  • options -- a list of NUL terminated options, or NULL.

The list of supported options is:

  • AUTHORITY=name: to restrict the authority of coordinate operations looked up in the database. When not specified, coordinate operations from any authority will be searched, with the restrictions set in the authority_to_authority_preference database table related to the authority of the source/target CRS themselves. If authority is set to any, then coordinate operations from any authority will be searched. If authority is a non-empty string different of any, then coordinate operations will be searched only in that authority namespace (e.g EPSG).

  • ACCURACY=value: to set the minimum desired accuracy (in metres) of the candidate coordinate operations.

  • ALLOW_BALLPARK=YES/NO: can be set to NO to disallow the use of Ballpark transformation in the candidate coordinate operations.

  • ONLY_BEST=YES/NO: (PROJ >= 9.2) Can be set to YES to cause PROJ to error out if the best transformation, known of PROJ, and usable by PROJ if all grids known and usable by PROJ were accessible, cannot be used. Best transformation should be understood as the transformation returned by proj_get_suggested_operation() if all known grids were accessible (either locally or through network). Note that the default value for this option can be also set with the PROJ_ONLY_BEST_DEFAULT environment variable, or with the only_best_default setting of proj.ini (the ONLY_BEST option when specified overrides such default value).

  • FORCE_OVER=YES/NO: can be set to YES to force the +over flag on the transformation returned by this function. See Longitude Wrapping

PJ *proj_normalize_for_visualization(PJ_CONTEXT *ctx, const PJ *obj)

Returns a PJ* object whose axis order is the one expected for visualization purposes.

The input object must be either:

  • a coordinate operation, that has been created with proj_create_crs_to_crs(). If the axis order of its source or target CRS is northing,easting, then an axis swap operation will be inserted.

  • or a CRS. The axis order of geographic CRS will be longitude, latitude [,height], and the one of projected CRS will be easting, northing [, height]

Parameters:
  • ctx -- PROJ context, or NULL for default context

  • obj -- Object of type CRS, or CoordinateOperation created with proj_create_crs_to_crs() (must not be NULL)

Returns:

a new PJ* object to free with proj_destroy() in case of success, or nullptr in case of error

Area of interest

New in version 6.0.0.

PJ_AREA *proj_area_create(void)

Such an area of use is to be passed to proj_create_crs_to_crs() to specify the area of use for the choice of relevant coordinate operations.

Returns:

PJ_AREA * to be deallocated with proj_area_destroy()

void proj_area_set_bbox(PJ_AREA *area, double west_lon_degree, double south_lat_degree, double east_lon_degree, double north_lat_degree)

Set the bounding box of the area of use

Such an area of use is to be passed to proj_create_crs_to_crs() to specify the area of use for the choice of relevant coordinate operations.

In the case of an area of use crossing the antimeridian (longitude +/- 180 degrees), west_lon_degree will be greater than east_lon_degree.

Parameters:
  • area -- Pointer to an object returned by proj_area_create().

  • west_lon_degree -- West longitude, in degrees. In [-180,180] range.

  • south_lat_degree -- South latitude, in degrees. In [-90,90] range.

  • east_lon_degree -- East longitude, in degrees. In [-180,180] range.

  • north_lat_degree -- North latitude, in degrees. In [-90,90] range.

Coordinate transformation

PJ_COORD proj_trans(PJ *P, PJ_DIRECTION direction, PJ_COORD coord)

Transform a single PJ_COORD coordinate.

If the input coordinate contains any NaNs you are guaranteed to get a coordinate with all NaNs as a result.

Changed in version 9.2.0: Define NaN handling. Prior NaN handling behavior was undefined.

Parameters:
  • P (PJ *) -- Transformation object

  • direction (PJ_DIRECTION) -- Transformation direction.

  • coord (PJ_COORD) -- Coordinate that will be transformed.

Returns:

PJ_COORD

PJ *proj_trans_get_last_used_operation(PJ *P)

New in version 9.1.0.

Return the operation used during the last invocation of proj_trans(). This is especially useful when P has been created with proj_create_crs_to_crs() and has several alternative operations. The returned object must be freed with proj_destroy().

Parameters:
  • P (PJ *) -- Transformation object

Returns:

PJ *

size_t proj_trans_generic(PJ *P, PJ_DIRECTION direction, double *x, size_t sx, size_t nx, double *y, size_t sy, size_t ny, double *z, size_t sz, size_t nz, double *t, size_t st, size_t nt)

Transform a series of coordinates, where the individual coordinate dimension may be represented by an array that is either

  1. fully populated

  2. a null pointer and/or a length of zero, which will be treated as a fully populated array of zeroes

  3. of length one, i.e. a constant, which will be treated as a fully populated array of that constant value

Note

Even though the coordinate components are named x, y, z and t, axis ordering of the to and from CRS is respected. Transformations exhibit the same behavior as if they were gathered in a PJ_COORD struct.

The strides, sx, sy, sz, st, represent the step length, in bytes, between consecutive elements of the corresponding array. This makes it possible for proj_trans_generic() to handle transformation of a large class of application specific data structures, without necessarily understanding the data structure format, as in:

typedef struct {
    double x, y;
    int quality_level;
    char surveyor_name[134];
} XYQS;

XYQS survey[345];
double height = 23.45;
size_t stride = sizeof (XYQS);

...

proj_trans_generic (
    P, PJ_INV,
    &(survey[0].x), stride, 345,  /*  We have 345 eastings  */
    &(survey[0].y), stride, 345,  /*  ...and 345 northings. */
    &height, sizeof(double), 1,   /*  The height is the constant  23.45 m */
    0, 0, 0                       /*  and the time is the constant 0.00 s */
);

This is similar to the inner workings of the deprecated pj_transform() function, but the stride functionality has been generalized to work for any size of basic unit, not just a fixed number of doubles.

In most cases, the stride will be identical for x, y, z, and t, since they will typically be either individual arrays (stride = sizeof(double)), or strided views into an array of application specific data structures (stride = sizeof (...)).

But in order to support cases where x, y, z, and t come from heterogeneous sources, individual strides, sx, sy, sz, st, are used.

Note

Since proj_trans_generic() does its work in place, this means that even the supposedly constants (i.e. length 1 arrays) will return from the call in altered state. Hence, remember to reinitialize between repeated calls.

Parameters:
  • P (PJ *) -- Transformation object

  • direction (PJ_DIRECTION) -- Transformation direction.

  • x (double *) -- Array of x-coordinates

  • sx (size_t) -- Step length, in bytes, between consecutive elements of the corresponding array

  • nx (size_t) -- Number of elements in the corresponding array

  • y (double *) -- Array of y-coordinates

  • sy (size_t) -- Step length, in bytes, between consecutive elements of the corresponding array

  • ny (size_t) -- Number of elements in the corresponding array

  • z (double *) -- Array of z-coordinates

  • sz (size_t) -- Step length, in bytes, between consecutive elements of the corresponding array

  • nz (size_t) -- Number of elements in the corresponding array

  • t (double *) -- Array of t-coordinates

  • st (size_t) -- Step length, in bytes, between consecutive elements of the corresponding array

  • nt (size_t) -- Number of elements in the corresponding array

Returns:

Number of transformations successfully completed

int proj_trans_array(PJ *P, PJ_DIRECTION direction, size_t n, PJ_COORD *coord)

Batch transform an array of PJ_COORD.

Performs transformation on all points, even if errors occur on some points (new to 8.0. Previous versions would exit early in case of failure on a given point)

Individual points that fail to transform will have their components set to HUGE_VAL

Parameters:
  • P (PJ *) -- Transformation object

  • direction (PJ_DIRECTION) -- Transformation direction.

  • n (size_t) -- Number of coordinates in coord

Returns:

int 0 if all observations are transformed without error, otherwise returns error number. This error number will be a precise error number if all coordinates that fail to transform for the same reason, or a generic error code if they fail for different reasons.

int proj_trans_bounds(PJ_CONTEXT *context, PJ *P, PJ_DIRECTION direction, double xmin, double ymin, double xmax, double ymax, double *out_xmin, double *out_ymin, double *out_xmax, double *out_ymax, int densify_pts)

Transform boundary,.

Transform boundary densifying the edges to account for nonlinear transformations along these edges and extracting the outermost bounds.

If the destination CRS is geographic, the first axis is longitude, and xmax < xmin then the bounds crossed the antimeridian. In this scenario there are two polygons, one on each side of the antimeridian. The first polygon should be constructed with (xmin, ymin, 180, ymax) and the second with (-180, ymin, xmax, ymax).

If the destination CRS is geographic, the first axis is latitude, and ymax < ymin then the bounds crossed the antimeridian. In this scenario there are two polygons, one on each side of the antimeridian. The first polygon should be constructed with (ymin, xmin, ymax, 180) and the second with (ymin, -180, ymax, xmax).

Error reporting

int proj_errno(PJ *P)

Get a reading of the current error-state of P. An non-zero error codes indicates an error either with the transformation setup or during a transformation. In cases P is 0 the error number of the default context is read. A text representation of the error number can be retrieved with proj_errno_string().

Consult Error codes for the list of error codes (PROJ >= 8.0)

Parameters:
  • P (PJ *) -- Transformation object

Returns:

int

int proj_context_errno(PJ_CONTEXT *ctx)

Get a reading of the current error-state of ctx. An non-zero error codes indicates an error either with the transformation setup or during a transformation. A text representation of the error number can be retrieved with proj_errno_string().

Consult Error codes for the list of error codes (PROJ >= 8.0)

Parameters:
Returns:

int

void proj_errno_set(PJ *P, int err)

Change the error-state of P to err.

Parameters:
  • P (PJ *) -- Transformation object

  • err (int) -- Error number.

int proj_errno_reset(PJ *P)

Clears the error number in P, and bubbles it up to the context.

Example:

void foo (PJ *P) {
    int last_errno = proj_errno_reset (P);

    do_something_with_P (P);

    /* failure - keep latest error status */
    if (proj_errno(P))
        return;
    /* success - restore previous error status */
    proj_errno_restore (P, last_errno);
    return;
}
Parameters:
  • P (PJ *) -- Transformation object

Returns:

int Returns the previous value of the errno, for convenient reset/restore operations.

void proj_errno_restore(PJ *P, int err)

Reduce some mental impedance in the canonical reset/restore use case: Basically, proj_errno_restore() is a synonym for proj_errno_set(), but the use cases are very different: set indicate an error to higher level user code, restore passes previously set error indicators in case of no errors at this level.

Hence, although the inner working is identical, we provide both options, to avoid some rather confusing real world code.

See usage example under proj_errno_reset()

Distances

double proj_lp_dist(const PJ *P, PJ_COORD a, PJ_COORD b)

Calculate geodesic distance between two points in geodetic coordinates. The calculated distance is between the two points located on the ellipsoid.

The coordinates in a and b needs to be given as longitude and latitude in radians. Note that the axis order of the P object is not taken into account in this function, so even though a CRS object comes with axis ordering latitude/longitude coordinates used in this function should be reordered as longitude/latitude.

  • b (PJ_COORD) -- Coordinate of second point

Returns:

double Distance between a and b in meters.

Calculate geodesic distance between two points in geodetic coordinates. Similar to proj_lp_dist() but also takes the height above the ellipsoid into account.

The coordinates in a and b needs to be given as longitude and latitude in radians. Note that the axis order of the P object is not taken into account in this function, so even though a CRS object comes with axis ordering latitude/longitude coordinates used in this function should be reordered as longitude/latitude.

Parameters:
  • P (const PJ *) -- Transformation or CRS object

  • a (PJ_COORD) -- Coordinate of first point

  • b (PJ_COORD) -- Coordinate of second point

Returns:

double Distance between a and b in meters.

PJ_COORD proj_geod(const PJ *P, PJ_COORD a, PJ_COORD b)

Calculate the geodesic distance as well as forward and reverse azimuth between two points on the ellipsoid.

The coordinates in a and b needs to be given as longitude and latitude in radians. Note that the axis order of the P object is not taken into account in this function, so even though a CRS object comes with axis ordering latitude/longitude coordinates used in this function should be reordered as longitude/latitude.

Parameters:
  • P (const PJ *) -- Transformation or CRS object

  • a (PJ_COORD) -- Coordinate of first point

  • b (PJ_COORD) -- Coordinate of second point

Returns:

PJ_COORD where the first value is the distance between a and b in meters, the second value is the forward azimuth and the third value is the reverse azimuth. The fourth coordinate value is unused.

Various

PJ_COORD proj_coord(double x, double y, double z, double t)

Initializer for the PJ_COORD union. The function is shorthand for the otherwise convoluted assignment. Equivalent to

PJ_COORD c = {{10.0, 20.0, 30.0, 40.0}};

or

PJ_COORD c;
// Assign using the PJ_XYZT struct in the union
c.xyzt.x = 10.0;
c.xyzt.y = 20.0;
c.xyzt.z = 30.0;
c.xyzt.t = 40.0;

Since PJ_COORD is a union of structs, the above assignment can also be expressed in terms of the other types in the union, e.g. PJ_UVWT or PJ_LPZT.

Parameters:
  • x (double) -- 1st component in a PJ_COORD

  • y (double) -- 2nd component in a PJ_COORD

  • z (double) -- 3rd component in a PJ_COORD

  • t (double) -- 4th component in a PJ_COORD

double proj_roundtrip(PJ *P, PJ_DIRECTION direction, int n, PJ_COORD *coord)

Measure internal consistency of a given transformation. The function performs n round trip transformations starting in either the forward or reverse direction. Returns the euclidean distance of the starting point coo and the resulting coordinate after n iterations back and forth.

If the input coordinate has any NaNs and the expected output of all NaNs is returned then the final distance will be 0.

Changed in version 9.2.0: Define expected NaN distance of 0.

Parameters:
  • P (PJ *) -- Transformation object

  • direction (PJ_DIRECTION) -- Starting direction of transformation

  • n (int) -- Number of roundtrip transformations

  • coord (PJ_COORD *) -- Input coordinate

Returns:

double Distance between original coordinate and the resulting coordinate after n transformation iterations.

PJ_FACTORS proj_factors(PJ *P, PJ_COORD lp)

Calculate various cartographic properties, such as scale factors, angular distortion and meridian convergence. Depending on the underlying projection values will be calculated either numerically (default) or analytically.

Starting with PROJ 8.2, the P object can be a projected CRS, for example instantiated from a EPSG CRS code. The factors computed will be those of the map projection implied by the transformation from the base geographic CRS of the projected CRS to the projected CRS.

The input geodetic coordinate lp should be such that lp.lam is the longitude in radian, and lp.phi the latitude in radian (thus independently of the definition of the base CRS, if P is a projected CRS).

The function also calculates the partial derivatives of the given coordinate.

Parameters:
  • P (PJ *) -- Transformation object

  • lp (PJ_COORD) -- Geodetic coordinate

Returns:

PJ_FACTORS

Setting custom I/O functions

New in version 7.0.0.

int proj_context_set_fileapi(PJ_CONTEXT *ctx, const PROJ_FILE_API *fileapi, void *user_data)

Set a file API

All callbacks should be provided (non NULL pointers). If read-only usage is intended, then the callbacks might have a dummy implementation.

Since

7.0

Note

Those callbacks will not be used for SQLite3 database access. If custom I/O is desired for that, then proj_context_set_sqlite3_vfs_name() should be used.

Parameters:
  • ctx -- PROJ context, or NULL

  • fileapi -- Pointer to file API structure (content will be copied).

  • user_data -- Arbitrary pointer provided by the user, and passed to the above callbacks. May be NULL.

Returns:

TRUE in case of success.

void proj_context_set_sqlite3_vfs_name(PJ_CONTEXT *ctx, const char *name)

Set the name of a custom SQLite3 VFS.

This should be a valid SQLite3 VFS name, such as the one passed to the sqlite3_vfs_register(). See https://www.sqlite.org/vfs.html

It will be used to read proj.db or create&access the cache.db file in the PROJ user writable directory.

Since

7.0

Parameters:
  • ctx -- PROJ context, or NULL

  • name -- SQLite3 VFS name. If NULL is passed, default implementation by SQLite will be used.

void proj_context_set_file_finder(PJ_CONTEXT *ctx, proj_file_finder finder, void *user_data)

Assign a file finder callback to a context.

This callback will be used whenever PROJ must open one of its resource files (proj.db database, grids, etc...)

The callback will be called with the context currently in use at the moment where it is used (not necessarily the one provided during this call), and with the provided user_data (which may be NULL). The user_data must remain valid during the whole lifetime of the context.

A finder set on the default context will be inherited by contexts created later.

Since

PROJ 6.0

Parameters:
  • ctx -- PROJ context, or NULL for the default context.

  • finder -- Finder callback. May be NULL

  • user_data -- User data provided to the finder callback. May be NULL.

void proj_context_set_search_paths(PJ_CONTEXT *ctx, int count_paths, const char *const *paths)

Sets search paths.

Those search paths will be used whenever PROJ must open one of its resource files (proj.db database, grids, etc...)

If set on the default context, they will be inherited by contexts created later.

Starting with PROJ 7.0, the path(s) should be encoded in UTF-8.

Since

PROJ 6.0

Parameters:
  • ctx -- PROJ context, or NULL for the default context.

  • count_paths -- Number of paths. 0 if paths == NULL.

  • paths -- Paths. May be NULL.

void proj_context_set_ca_bundle_path(PJ_CONTEXT *ctx, const char *path)

Sets CA Bundle path.

Those CA Bundle path will be used by PROJ when curl and PROJ_NETWORK are enabled.

If set on the default context, they will be inherited by contexts created later.

The path should be encoded in UTF-8.

Since

PROJ 7.2

Parameters:
  • ctx -- PROJ context, or NULL for the default context.

  • path -- Path. May be NULL.

Cleanup

void proj_cleanup()

New in version 6.2.0.

This function frees global resources (grids, cache of +init files). It should be called typically before process termination, and after having freed PJ and PJ_CONTEXT objects.

C API for ISO-19111 functionality

New in version 6.0.0.

The PJ* objects returned by proj_create_from_wkt(), proj_create_from_database() and other functions in that section will have generally minimal interaction with the functions declared in the previous sections (calling those functions on those objects will either return an error or default/nonsensical values). The exception is for ISO19111 objects of type CoordinateOperation that can be exported as a valid PROJ pipeline. In this case, objects will work for example with proj_trans_generic(). Conversely, objects returned by proj_create() and proj_create_argv(), which are not of type CRS (can be tested with proj_is_crs()), will return an error when used with functions of this section.

Parameters:
  • ctx -- PROJ context, or NULL for default context

  • obj -- Object of type BoundCRS or CoordinateOperation (must not be NULL)

PJ_OBJ_LIST *proj_identify(PJ_CONTEXT *ctx, const PJ *obj, const char *auth_name, const char *const *options, int **out_confidence)

Identify the CRS with reference CRSs.

The candidate CRSs are either hard-coded, or looked in the database when it is available.

Note that the implementation uses a set of heuristics to have a good compromise of successful identifications over execution time. It might miss legitimate matches in some circumstances.

The method returns a list of matching reference CRS, and the percentage (0-100) of confidence in the match. The list is sorted by decreasing confidence.

  • 100% means that the name of the reference entry perfectly matches the CRS name, and both are equivalent. In which case a single result is returned. Note: in the case of a GeographicCRS whose axis order is implicit in the input definition (for example ESRI WKT), then axis order is ignored for the purpose of identification. That is the CRS built from GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]], PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]] will be identified to EPSG:4326, but will not pass a isEquivalentTo(EPSG_4326, util::IComparable::Criterion::EQUIVALENT) test, but rather isEquivalentTo(EPSG_4326, util::IComparable::Criterion::EQUIVALENT_EXCEPT_AXIS_ORDER_GEOGCRS)

  • 90% means that CRS are equivalent, but the names are not exactly the same.

  • 70% means that CRS are equivalent, but the names are not equivalent.

  • 25% means that the CRS are not equivalent, but there is some similarity in the names.

Other confidence values may be returned by some specialized implementations.

This is implemented for GeodeticCRS, ProjectedCRS, VerticalCRS and CompoundCRS.

Parameters:
  • ctx -- PROJ context, or NULL for default context

  • obj -- Object of type CRS. Must not be NULL

  • auth_name -- Authority name, or NULL for all authorities

  • options -- Placeholder for future options. Should be set to NULL.

  • out_confidence -- Output parameter. Pointer to an array of integers that will be allocated by the function and filled with the confidence values (0-100). There are as many elements in this array as proj_list_get_count() returns on the return value of this function. *confidence should be released with proj_int_list_destroy().

The returned object is an array of PROJ_CRS_INFO* pointers, whose last entry is NULL. This array should be freed with proj_crs_info_list_destroy()

When no filter parameters are set, this is functionally equivalent to proj_get_codes_from_database(), instantiating a PJ* object for each of the codes with proj_create_from_database() and retrieving information with the various getters. However this function will be much faster.

Parameters:
  • ctx -- PROJ context, or NULL for default context

  • auth_name -- Authority name, used to restrict the search. Or NULL for all authorities.

PROJ_STRING_LIST proj_get_insert_statements(PJ_CONTEXT *ctx, PJ_INSERT_SESSION *session, const PJ *object, const char *authority, const char *code, int numeric_codes, const char *const *allowed_authorities, const char *const *options)

Returns SQL statements needed to insert the passed object into the database.

proj_insert_object_session_create() may have been called previously.

It is strongly recommended that new objects should not be added in common registries, such as "EPSG", "ESRI", "IAU", etc. Users should use a custom authority name instead. If a new object should be added to the official EPSG registry, users are invited to follow the procedure explained at https://epsg.org/dataset-change-requests.html.

Combined with proj_context_get_database_structure(), users can create auxiliary databases, instead of directly modifying the main proj.db database. Those auxiliary databases can be specified through proj_context_set_database_path() or the PROJ_AUX_DB environment variable.

Since

8.1

Parameters:
  • ctx -- PROJ context, or NULL for default context

Create a projected 3D CRS from an existing projected 2D CRS.

The passed projected_2D_crs is used so that its name is replaced by crs_name and its base geographic CRS is replaced by geog_3D_crs. The vertical axis of geog_3D_crs (ellipsoidal height) will be added as the 3rd axis of the resulting projected 3D CRS. Normally, the passed geog_3D_crs should be the 3D counterpart of the original 2D base geographic CRS of projected_2D_crs, but such no check is done.

It is also possible to invoke this function with a NULL geog_3D_crs. In which case, the existing base geographic 2D CRS of projected_2D_crs will be automatically promoted to 3D by assuming a 3rd axis being an ellipsoidal height, oriented upwards, and with metre units. This is equivalent to using proj_crs_promote_to_3D().
