Method Details

### __init__ (self, lat0, lon0, datum=None, name='') (Constructor) |
New azimuthal projection. Arguments: `lat0` - Latitude of the center point (`degrees90`). `lon0` - Longitude of the center point (`degrees180`). `datum` - Optional datum or ellipsoid (Datum, Ellipsoid, Ellipsoid2 or a_f2Tuple) or scalar earth radius (`meter`). `name` - Optional name for the projection (`str`). Raises: `AzimuthalError` - Invalid `lat0`, `lon0` or (spherical) `datum`. `TypeError` - Invalid `datum`. Overrides: object.__init__

### forward (self, lat, lon, name='') |
Convert a geodetic location to azimuthal Lambert-equal-area east- and northing. Arguments: `lat` - Latitude of the location (`degrees90`). `lon` - Longitude of the location (`degrees180`). `name` - Optional name for the location (`str`). Returns: An Azimuthal7Tuple`(x, y, lat, lon, azimuth, scale, datum)` with easting `x` and northing `y` of point in `meter` and `lat` and `lon` in `degrees` and `azimuth` clockwise from true North. The `scale` of the projection is `1` in radial direction and is `1 / reciprocal` in the direction perpendicular to this. Raises: `AzimuthalError` - Invalid `lat` or `lon`. Overrides: _AzimuthalBase.forward

### reverse (self, x, y, name='', LatLon=None, **LatLon_kwds) |
Convert an azimuthal Lambert-equal-area location to geodetic lat- and longitude. Arguments: `x` - Easting of the location (`meter`). `y` - Northing of the location (`meter`). `name` - Optional name for the location (`str`). `LatLon` - Class to use (`LatLon`) or `None`. `LatLon_kwds` - Optional, additional `LatLon` keyword arguments, ignored if `LatLon is None`. Returns: The geodetic (`LatLon`) or if `LatLon` is `None` an Azimuthal7Tuple`(x, y, lat, lon, azimuth, scale, datum)`. Overrides: _AzimuthalBase.reverse Note: The `lat` will be in the range `[-90..90] degrees` and `lon` in the range `[-180..180] degrees`. The `scale` of the projection is `1` in radial direction, `azimuth` clockwise from true North and is `1 / reciprocal` in the direction perpendicular to this.
