# Module osgr

Ordinance Survey Grid References (OSGR) class Osgr and functions parseOSGR and toOsgr.

Pure Python implementation of OS Grid Reference functions using an ellipsoidal earth model, transcribed from JavaScript originals by (C) Chris Veness 2005-2016 published under the same MIT Licence**, see OS National Grid and Module osgridref.

OSGR provides geocoordinate references for UK mapping purposes, converted in 2015 to work with WGS84 datum by default or OSGB36 as option.

See Guide, Proposed Changes, Confirmation and Ordnance Survey National Grid.

Function Details

### parseOSGR(strOSGR, Osgr=<class 'pygeodesy.osgr.Osgr'>, name=`'````'`) |
Parse an OSGR coordinate string to an Osgr instance. Accepts standard OS Grid References like 'SU 387 148', with or without whitespace separators, from 2- up to 10-digit references (1 m × 1 m square), or fully numeric, comma-separated references in metres, for example '438700,114800'. Parameters: `strOSGR` - An OSGR coordinate (string). `Osgr` - Optional Osgr class to use for the OSGR coordinate (Osgr) or None. `name` - Optional Osgr name (string). Returns: The OSGR coordinate (Osgr) or the 2-tuple (easting, northing) if Osgr is None. Raises: `ValueError` - Invalid strOSGR. Example:
    >>> g = parseOSGR('TG 51409 13177')
    >>> str(g)  # TG 51409 13177
    >>> g = parseOSGR('TG5140913177')
    >>> str(g)  # TG 51409 13177
    >>> g = parseOSGR('TG51409 13177')
    >>> str(g)  # TG 51409 13177
    >>> g = parseOSGR('651409,313177')
    >>> str(g)  # TG 51409 13177
    >>> g.toStr(prec=0)  # 651409,313177

### toOsgr(latlon, lon=None, datum=Datum(name='WGS84', ellipsoid=Ellipsoids.WGS84, transform=Tran`...`, Osgr=<class 'pygeodesy.osgr.Osgr'>, name=`'````'`) |
Convert a lat-/longitude point to an OSGR coordinate. Parameters: `latlon` - Latitude (degrees) or an (ellipsoidal) geodetic LatLon point. `lon` - Optional longitude in degrees (scalar or None). `datum` - Optional datum to convert (Datum). `Osgr` - Optional Osgr (sub-)class to use for the OSGR coordinate (Osgr). `name` - Optional Osgr name (string). Returns: The OSGR coordinate (Osgr) or 2-tuple (easting, northing) if Osgr is None. Raises: `TypeError` - If latlon is not ellipsoidal or if datum conversion failed. `ValueError` - Invalid latlon or lon. Example:
    >>> p = LatLon(52.65798, 1.71605)
    >>> r = toOsgr(p)  # TG 51409 13177
    >>> # for conversion of (historical) OSGB36 lat-/longitude:
    >>> r = toOsgr(52.65757, 1.71791, datum=Datums.OSGB36)
