Detailed Description

This class represents a coordinate reference system (CRS).

Coordinate reference system object defines a specific map projection, as well as transformations between different coordinate reference systems. There are various ways how a CRS can be defined: using well-known text (WKT), PROJ string or combination of authority and code (e.g. EPSG:4326). QGIS comes with its internal database of coordinate reference systems (stored in SQLite) that allows lookups of CRS and seamless conversions between the various definitions.

Most commonly one comes across two types of coordinate systems:

Internally QGIS uses proj library for all the math behind coordinate transformations, so in case of any troubles with projections it is best to examine the PROJ representation within the object, as that is the representation that will be ultimately used.

Methods that allow inspection of CRS instances include isValid(), authid(), description(), toWkt(), toProj(), mapUnits() and others. Creation of CRS instances is further described in Object Construction and Copying section below. Transformations between coordinate reference systems are done using QgsCoordinateTransform class.

For example, the following code will create and inspect "British national grid" CRS:

crs = QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem("EPSG:27700")
if crs.isValid():
print("CRS Description: {}".format(crs.description()))
print("CRS PROJ text: {}".format(crs.toProj()))
else:
print("Invalid CRS!")
This class represents a coordinate reference system (CRS).

This will produce the following output:

CRS Description: OSGB 1936 / British National Grid
CRS PROJ text: +proj=tmerc +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-2 +k=0.9996012717 +x_0=400000 +y_0=-100000 [output trimmed]

CRS Definition Formats

This section gives an overview of various supported CRS definition formats:

CRS Database and Custom CRS

The database of CRS shipped with QGIS is stored in a SQLite database (see QgsApplication::srsDatabaseFilePath()) and it is based on the data files maintained by GDAL project (a variety of .csv and .wkt files).

Sometimes it happens that users need to use a CRS definition that is not well known or that has been only created with a specific purpose (and thus its definition is not available in our database of CRS). Whenever a new CRS definition is seen, it will be added to the local database (in user's home directory, see QgsApplication::qgisUserDatabaseFilePath()). QGIS also features a GUI for management of local custom CRS definitions.

There are therefore two databases: one for shipped CRS definitions and one for custom CRS definitions. Custom CRS have internal IDs (accessible with srsid()) greater or equal to USER_CRS_START_ID. The local CRS databases should never be accessed directly with SQLite functions, instead you should use QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem API for CRS lookups and for managements of custom CRS.

Validation

In some cases (most prominently when loading a map layer), QGIS will try to ensure that the given map layer CRS is valid using validate() call. If not, a custom validation function will be called - such function may for example show a GUI for manual CRS selection. The validation function is configured using setCustomCrsValidation(). If validation fails or no validation function is set, the default CRS is assigned (WGS84). QGIS application registers its validation function that will act according to user's settings (either show CRS selector dialog or use project/custom CRS).

Object Construction and Copying

The easiest way of creating CRS instances is to use QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem(const QString&) constructor that automatically recognizes definition format from the given string.

Creation of CRS object involves some queries in a local SQLite database, which may be potentially expensive. Consequently, CRS creation methods use an internal cache to avoid unnecessary database lookups. If the CRS database is modified, then it is necessary to call invalidateCache() to ensure that outdated records are not being returned from the cache.

Since QGIS 2.16 QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem objects are implicitly shared.

Caveats

There are two different flavors of WKT: one is defined by OGC, the other is the standard used by ESRI. They look very similar, but they are not the same. QGIS is able to consume both flavors.

Member Function Documentation

◆ authid()

QString QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::authid ( ) const

Returns the authority identifier for the CRS.

The identifier includes both the authority (e.g., EPSG) and the CRS number (e.g., 4326). This is the best method to use when showing a very short CRS identifier to a user, e.g., "EPSG:4326".

If CRS object is a custom CRS (not found in database), the method will return internal QGIS CRS ID with "QGIS" authority, for example "QGIS:100005"

Returns
the authority identifier for this CRS

◆ axisOrdering()

QList< Qgis::CrsAxisDirection > QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::axisOrdering ( ) const

Returns an ordered list of the axis directions reflecting the native axis order for the CRS.

Since
QGIS 3.26

Definition at line 799 of file qgscoordinatereferencesystem.cpp.

◆ bounds()

QgsRectangle QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::bounds ( ) const

Returns the approximate bounds for the region the CRS is usable within.

The returned bounds represent the latitude and longitude extent for the projection in the WGS 84 CRS.

Since

Definition at line 1470 of file qgscoordinatereferencesystem.cpp.

◆ celestialBodyName()

QString QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::celestialBodyName ( ) const

Attempts to retrieve the name of the celestial body associated with the CRS (e.g.

"Earth").

Warning
This method requires PROJ 8.1 or later
Exceptions
QgsNotSupportedExceptionon QGIS builds based on PROJ 8.0 or earlier.
Since
QGIS 3.20

Definition at line 1318 of file qgscoordinatereferencesystem.cpp.

◆ coordinateEpoch()

double QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::coordinateEpoch ( ) const

Returns the coordinate epoch, as a decimal year.

In a dynamic CRS, coordinates of a point on the surface of the Earth may change with time. To be unambiguous the coordinates must always be qualified with the epoch at which they are valid. The coordinate epoch is not necessarily the epoch at which the observation was collected.

Pedantically the coordinate epoch of an observation belongs to the observation, and not to the CRS, however it is often more practical to bind it to the CRS. The coordinate epoch should be specified for dynamic CRS (see isDynamic()).

Warning
The QgsCoordinateTransform class can perform time-dependent transformations between a static and dynamic CRS based on either the source or destination CRS coordinate epoch, however dynamic CRS to dynamic CRS transformations are not currently supported.
Returns
Coordinate epoch as decimal year (e.g. 2021.3), or NaN if not set, or relevant.

Accepts both "<auth>:<code>" format and OGC URN "urn:ogc:def:crs:<auth>:[<version>]:<code>". It also recognizes "QGIS", "USER", "CUSTOM" authorities, which all have the same meaning and refer to QGIS internal CRS IDs.

Returns
true on success else false
Note
this method uses an internal cache. Call invalidateCache() to clear the cache.
See also
fromOgcWmsCrs()

Definition at line 386 of file qgscoordinatereferencesystem.cpp.

◆ createFromProj()

bool QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::createFromProj ( const QString &  projString,
bool  identify = true 
)

Sets this CRS by passing it a PROJ style formatted string.

The string will be parsed and the projection and ellipsoid members set and the remainder of the Proj string will be stored in the parameters member. The reason for this is so that we can easily present the user with 'natural language' representation of the projection and ellipsoid by looking them up in the srs.db sqlite database.

We try to match the Proj string to internal QGIS CRS ID using the following logic:

  • ask the Proj library to identify the CRS to a standard registered CRS (e.g. EPSG codes)
  • if no match is found, compare the CRS to all user CRSes, using the Proj library to determine CRS equivalence (hence making the match parameter order insensitive)
  • if none of the above match, use the Proj string to create the CRS and do not associated an internal CRS ID to it.
Parameters
projStringA Proj format string
identifyif false, no attempts will be made to match the proj string against known CRS authorities. This is much faster, but should only ever be used when it is known in advance that the definition does not correspond to a known or user CRS. This argument is not available in Python.
Returns
true on success else false
Note
Some members may be left blank if no match can be found in CRS database.
This method uses an internal cache. Call invalidateCache() to clear the cache.

◆ createFromProj4()

bool QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::createFromProj4 ( const QString &  projString)

Sets this CRS by passing it a PROJ style formatted string.

The string will be parsed and the projection and ellipsoid members set and the remainder of the Proj string will be stored in the parameters member. The reason for this is so that we can easily present the user with 'natural language' representation of the projection and ellipsoid by looking them up in the srs.db sqlite database.

We try to match the Proj string to internal QGIS CRS ID using the following logic:

  • ask the Proj library to identify the CRS to a standard registered CRS (e.g. EPSG codes)
  • if no match is found, compare the CRS to all user CRSes, using the Proj library to determine CRS equivalence (hence making the match parameter order insensitive)
  • if none of the above match, use the Proj string to create the CRS and do not associated an internal CRS ID to it.
Parameters
projStringA Proj format string
Returns
true on success else false
Note
Some members may be left blank if no match can be found in CRS database.

Definition at line 507 of file qgscoordinatereferencesystem.cpp.

◆ createFromSrsId()

bool QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::createFromSrsId ( long  srsId)

Sets this CRS by lookup of internal QGIS CRS ID in the CRS database.

If the srsid is < USER_CRS_START_ID, system CRS database is used, otherwise user's local CRS database from home directory is used.

◆ setCoordinateEpoch()

void QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::setCoordinateEpoch ( double  epoch)

Sets the coordinate epoch, as a decimal year.

In a dynamic CRS (see isDynamic()), coordinates of a point on the surface of the Earth may change with time. To be unambiguous the coordinates must always be qualified with the epoch at which they are valid. The coordinate epoch is not necessarily the epoch at which the observation was collected.

Pedantically the coordinate epoch of an observation belongs to the observation, and not to the CRS, however it is often more practical to bind it to the CRS. The coordinate epoch should be specified for dynamic CRS (see isDynamic()).

Parameters
epochCoordinate epoch as decimal year (e.g. 2021.3)
Warning
The QgsCoordinateTransform class can perform time-dependent transformations between a static and dynamic CRS based on either the source or destination CRS coordinate epoch, however dynamic CRS to dynamic CRS transformations are not currently supported.

◆ updateDefinition()

void QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::updateDefinition ( )

Updates the definition and parameters of the coordinate reference system to their latest values.

This only has an effect if the CRS is a user defined custom CRS, and the definition of that custom CRS has changed. In this case the parameters of the object (such as the proj and WKT string definitions, and other related properties) will be updated to reflect the current definition of the custom CRS.

Any objects which store CRS objects should connect to the QgsApplication::coordinateReferenceSystemRegistry()'s QgsCoordinateReferenceSystemRegistry::userCrsChanged() signal and call this method on their stored CRS objects whenever the signal is emitted in order to update these CRSes to their new definitions.
