geost.base.PointHeader.change_horizontal_reference#

PointHeader.change_horizontal_reference(to_epsg: str | int | CRS)[source]#

Change the horizontal reference (i.e. coordinate reference system, crs) of the header to the given target crs.

Parameters:: to_epsg (str | int | CRS) – EPSG of the target crs. Takes anything that can be interpreted by pyproj.crs.CRS.from_user_input().

Examples

To change the header’s current horizontal reference to WGS 84 UTM zone 31N:

>>> self.change_horizontal_reference(32631)

This would be the same as:

>>> self.change_horizontal_reference("epsg:32631")

As Pyproj is very flexible, you can even use the CRS’s full official name:

>>> self.change_horizontal_reference("WGS 84 / UTM zone 31N")
