PROJ4DART

Proj4dart is a Dart library to transform point coordinates from one coordinate system to another, including datum transformations (Dart version of proj4js/proj4js).

Installing

Add proj4dart to pubspec.yml (dependencies section), then run pub get to download the new dependencies.

dependencies:
  proj4dart: any # or the latest version on Pub

Using

Predefined Projection

There are 3 predefined Projections and 5 aliases by default:

  • EPSG:4326, which has the following alias:
    • WGS84
  • EPSG:4269
  • EPSG:3857, which has the following aliases:
    • EPSG:3785
    • GOOGLE
    • EPSG:900913
    • EPSG:102113

If you wish to use one of the predefined ones use Named Projection which has the following signature:

  var projection = Projection.get('EPSG:4326')!;

User-defined Projection

Proj4dart supports Proj4 definition strings, OGC WKT definitions and ESRI WKT definitions. They can be obtained from epsg.io.

With Proj4 string definition

If you wish to define your own projection you can create it with a valid Proj4 string (here for EPSG:23700):

+proj=somerc +lat_0=47.14439372222222 +lon_0=19.04857177777778 +k_0=0.99993 +x_0=650000 +y_0=200000 +ellps=GRS67 +towgs84=52.17,-71.82,-14.9,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs

The signature is:

var def = '+proj=somerc +lat_0=47.14439372222222 +lon_0=19.04857177777778 +k_0=0.99993 +x_0=650000 +y_0=200000 +ellps=GRS67 +towgs84=52.17,-71.82,-14.9,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs';

// Named Projection signature, later find it from anywhere via Projection.get('EPSG:23700')
var namedProjection = Projection.add('EPSG:23700', def);
// Projection without name signature
var projection = Projection.parse(def);

With OGC WKT definition

If you wish to define your own projection you can create it with a valid OGC WKT string (here for EPSG:23700):

Grid Based Datum Adjustments

To use +nadgrids= in a proj definition, first read your NTv2 .gsb file into an Uint8List, then pass to Projection.nadgrid. E.g:

Dart:

final bytes = await File(
  'assets/my_grid.gsb',
).readAsBytes();

Projection.nadgrid('key', bytes);

Flutter:

import 'package:flutter/services.dart' show rootBundle;
final bytes = (await rootBundle.load(fileName)).buffer.asUint8List();

Projection.nadgrid('key', bytes);

then use the given key in your definition, e.g. +nadgrids=@key,null. See Proj4 General Parameters.

Nadgrid example:

import 'package:flutter/services.dart' show rootBundle;

final bytes = (await rootBundle.load('assets/nzgd2kgrid0005.gsb')).buffer.asUint8List();
Projection.nadgrid('nzgd2kgrid0005.gsb', bytes);

var def = '+proj=longlat +datum=nzgd49 +towgs84=59.47,-5.04,187.44,0.47,-0.1,1.024,-4.5993 +nadgrids=nzgd2kgrid0005.gsb +no_defs';
var namedProjection = Projection.add('EPSG:4272', def);

Transform between Projections

import 'package:proj4dart/proj4dart.dart';

void main() {
  // Define Point
  var pointSrc = Point(x: 17.888058560281515, y: 46.89226406700879);

  // Use built-in projection
  var projSrc = Projection.get('EPSG:4326')!;

  // Find Projection by name or define it if not exists
  var projDst = Projection.get('EPSG:23700') ??
      Projection.add(
        'EPSG:23700',
        '+proj=somerc +lat_0=47.14439372222222 +lon_0=19.04857177777778 +k_0=0.99993 +x_0=650000 +y_0=200000 +ellps=GRS67 +towgs84=52.17,-71.82,-14.9,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs',
      );

  // Forward transform (lonlat -> projected crs)
  var pointForward = projSrc.transform(projDst, pointSrc);
  print(
      'FORWARD: Transform point ${pointSrc.toArray()} from EPSG:4326 to EPSG:23700: ${pointForward.toArray()}');
  // FORWARD: Transform point [17.888058560281515, 46.89226406700879] from EPSG:4326 to EPSG:23700: [561651.8408065987, 172658.61998377228]

  // Inverse transform (projected crs -> lonlat)
  var pointInverse = projDst.transform(projSrc, pointForward);
  print(
      'INVERSE: Transform point ${pointForward.toArray()} from EPSG:23700 to EPSG:4326: ${pointInverse.toArray()}');
  // INVERSE: Transform point [561651.8408065987, 172658.61998377228] from EPSG:23700 to EPSG:4326: [17.888058565574845, 46.89226406698969]
}

Transform between Projections using ProjectionTuple

import 'package:proj4dart/proj4dart.dart';

void main() {
  // Define Point
  var pointSrc = Point(x: 17.888058560281515, y: 46.89226406700879);

  // Define ProjectionTuple which makes vice versa conversions even easier
  var tuple = ProjectionTuple(
    // Use built-in projection
    fromProj: Projection.get('EPSG:4326')!,
    // Define custom projection
    toProj: Projection.parse(
      '+proj=somerc +lat_0=47.14439372222222 +lon_0=19.04857177777778 +k_0=0.99993 +x_0=650000 +y_0=200000 +ellps=GRS67 +towgs84=52.17,-71.82,-14.9,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs',
    ),
  );

  // Forward transform (lonlat -> projected crs)
  var pointForward = tuple.forward(pointSrc);
  print(
      'FORWARD: Transform point ${pointSrc.toArray()} from EPSG:4326 to EPSG:23700: ${pointForward.toArray()}');
  // FORWARD: Transform point [17.888058560281515, 46.89226406700879] from EPSG:4326 to EPSG:23700: [561651.8408065987, 172658.61998377228]

  // Inverse transform (projected crs -> lonlat)
  var pointInverse = tuple.inverse(pointForward);
  print(
      'INVERSE: Transform point ${pointForward.toArray()} from EPSG:23700 to EPSG:4326: ${pointInverse.toArray()}');
  // INVERSE: Transform point [561651.8408065987, 172658.61998377228] from EPSG:23700 to EPSG:4326: [17.888058565574845, 46.89226406698969]
}

Accuracy

Proj4dart was tested with

Forward and inverse transformations were both performed and checked in each case. The expected forward and inverse results were pre-calculated using proj4js (test/results/all_proj4_results.dart, test/results/all_proj4_ogc_wkt_results.dart, test/results/all_proj4_esri_wkt_results.dart).

The following table shows the avarage deltas of different Projections (using EPSG:4326 point of [17.888058560281515, 46.89226406700879] and transformed to Custom CRS defined with Proj4 definition string which gave the forward result then transformed back the received forward result which gave the inverse result):
