maps.domains.crs.from_dict(kwargs)

Convert a dictionary representation of a CRS into a cartopy CRS.

Parameters:

crs (dict) – A dictionary representation of a CRS to be parsed and converted into a cartopy CRS. Must include a “name” key matching the name of a cartopy CRS, plus and keyword arguments to be passed to the CRS constructor.

Example

>>> earthkit.maps.domains.parse_crs(
...     {"name": "PlateCarree", "central_longitude": 50}
... )
<Derived Projected CRS: +proj=eqc +ellps=WGS84 +a=6378137.0 +lon_0=50 +to_ ...>

maps.domains.crs.from_string(string)

maps.domains.crs.parse(crs)

Convert a string or dictionary representation of a CRS into a cartopy CRS.

Parameters:

crs (str, dict or cartopy.crs.CRS) – Some representation of a CRS to be parsed and converted into a cartopy CRS. If a string, must be the name of a cartopy CRS. If a dictionary, must include a “name” key matching the name of a cartopy CRS, plus and keyword arguments to be passed to the CRS constructor.
