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:

  1. Geographic coordinate systems - based on a geodetic datum, normally with coordinates being latitude/longitude in degrees. The most common one is World Geodetic System 84 (WGS84).
  2. Projected coordinate systems - based on a geodetic datum with coordinates projected to a plane, typically using meters or feet as units. Common projected coordinate systems are Universal Transverse Mercator or Albers Equal Area.

Internally QGIS uses proj4 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(), toProj4(), 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.toProj4()))
else:
print("Invalid 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:

  1. Authority and Code. Also referred to as OGC WMS format within QGIS as they have been widely used in OGC standards. These are encoded as <auth>:<code>, for example EPSG:4326 refers to WGS84 system. EPSG is the most commonly used authority that covers a wide range of coordinate systems around the world.

    An extended variant of this format is OGC URN. Syntax of URN for CRS definition is urn:ogc:def:crs:<auth>:[<version>]:<code>. This class can also parse URNs (versions are currently ignored). For example, WGS84 may be encoded as urn:ogc:def:crs:OGC:1.3:CRS84.

    QGIS adds support for "USER" authority that refers to IDs used internally in QGIS. This variant is best avoided or used with caution as the IDs are not permanent and they refer to different CRS on different machines or user profiles.

    See authid() and createFromOgcWmsCrs() methods.

  2. PROJ string. This is a string consisting of a series of key/value pairs in the following format: +param1=value1 +param2=value2 [...]. This is the format natively used by the underlying proj4 library. For example, the definition of WGS84 looks like this:

    +proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +no_defs
    

    See toProj4() and createFromProj4() methods.

  3. Well-known text (WKT). Defined by Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), this is another common format to define CRS. For WGS84 the OGC WKT definition is the following:

    GEOGCS["WGS 84",
           DATUM["WGS_1984",
             SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563,AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],
             AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],
           PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],
           UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],
           AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]]
    

    See toWkt() and createFromWkt() methods.

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.

)

Sets this CRS by lookup of the given ID in the CRS database.

Returns
True on success else false

Sets this CRS to the given OGC WMS-format Coordinate Reference Systems.

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 317 of file qgscoordinatereferencesystem.cpp.

◆ 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 proj4 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 proj4 string to internal QGIS CRS ID using the following logic:

  • perform a whole text search on proj4 string (if not null)
  • if not match is found, split proj4 into individual parameters and try to find a match where the parameters are in a different order
  • if none of the above match, use findMatchingProj()
Parameters
projStringA proj4 format string
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.

Make sure that ESRI WKT import is done properly.

This is required for proper shapefile CRS import when using gdal>= 1.9.

Note
This function is called by createFromUserInput() and QgsOgrProvider::crs(), there is usually no need to call it from elsewhere.
This function sets CPL config option GDAL_FIX_ESRI_WKT to a proper value, unless it has been set by the user through the commandline or an environment variable. For more details refer to OGRSpatialReference::morphFromESRI() .

◆ syncDatabase()

int QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::syncDatabase ( )
static

Update proj.4 parameters in our database from proj.4.

Returns
number of updated CRS on success and negative number of failed updates in case of errors.
Note
This is used internally and should not be necessary to call in client code

Definition at line 1838 of file qgscoordinatereferencesystem.cpp.

◆ toProj4()

QString QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::toProj4 ( ) const

Returns a Proj4 string representation of this CRS.

If proj and ellps keys are found in the parameters, they will be stripped out and the projection and ellipsoid acronyms will be overridden with these.

Returns
Proj4 format string that defines this CRS.
Note
an empty string will be returned if the CRS could not be represented by a Proj4 string

◆ validate()

void QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::validate ( )

Perform some validation on this CRS.

If the CRS doesn't validate the default behavior settings for layers with unknown CRS will be consulted and acted on accordingly. By hell or high water this method will do its best to make sure that this CRS is valid - even if that involves resorting to a hard coded default of geocs:wgs84.

Note
It is not usually necessary to use this function, unless you are trying to force this CRS to be valid.
