# Module webmercator

Web Mercator (WM) projection.

Classes Wm and WebMercatorError and functions parseWM and toWm.

Function Details

### parseWM (strWM, radius=6378137.0, Wm=<class 'pygeodesy.webmercator.Wm'>, **name) |
Parse a string `"e n [r]"` representing a WM coordinate, consisting of easting, northing and an optional radius. Arguments: `strWM` - A WM coordinate (`str`). `radius` - Optional earth radius (`meter`), needed in case `strWM` doesn't include `r`. `Wm` - Optional class to return the WM coordinate (Wm) or `None`. `name` - Optional `name=NN` (`str`). Returns: The WM coordinate (`Wm`) or if `Wm is None`, an EasNorRadius3Tuple`(easting, northing, radius)`. Raises: `WebMercatorError` - Invalid `strWM`.

### toWm (latlon, lon=None, earth=6378137.0, Wm=<class 'pygeodesy.webmercator.Wm'>, **name_Wm_kwds_radius) |
Convert a lat-/longitude point to a WM coordinate. Arguments: `latlon` - Latitude (`degrees`) or an (ellipsoidal or spherical) geodetic `LatLon` point. `lon` - Optional longitude (`degrees` or `None`). `earth` - Earth radius (`meter`), datum or ellipsoid (Datum, a_f2Tuple, Ellipsoid or Ellipsoid2), overridden by `latlon`'s datum if present. `Wm` - Optional class to return the WM coordinate (Wm) or `None`. `name_Wm_kwds_radius` - Optional `name=NN` (`str`), optional, additional `Wm` keyword arguments, ignored if `Wm is None` and DEPRECATED keyword argument `radius=earth`, use `earth`. Returns: The WM coordinate (`Wm`) or if `Wm is None`, an EasNorRadius3Tuple`(easting, northing, radius)`. Raises: `ValueError` - If `earth` is invalid, if `lon` value is missing, if `latlon` is not scalar, or if `latlon` is beyond the valid WM range and rangerrrors is `True`.
