spherical_mercator

Ruby port of Mapbox Spherical Mercator

Spherical Mercator gem is a port of Mapbox sphericalmercator JS lib that provides projection math for converting between mercator meters, screen pixels (of 256x256 or configurable-size tiles), and latitude/longitude.

Requirements

• Ruby >= 2.0

Installation

Simple:

gem install spherical_mercator

For Gemfile:

gem 'spherical_mercator'

API

NOTE: API description copied from the original repo.

Some datatypes are assumed to be arrays: ll is [lon, lat], xy and px are [x, y].

# By default, precomputes up to z30
mercator = SphericalMercator.new(size: 256)
# Whether to round pixel values at integer zoom levels. Defaults to true.
mercator = SphericalMercator.new(round: false)

px(lon_lat, zoom)

Convert lon, lat to screen pixel x, y from 0, 0 origin, at a certain zoom level. The inverse of ll

Screen pixel values are rounded, unless the zoom level is a floating point value. To disable rounding on integer zoom levels, specify round: false when creating the SphericalMercator.

ll(px, zoom)

Convert screen pixel value to lon, lat, at a certain zoom level. The inverse of px

bbox(x, y, zoom, tms_style, srs)

Convert tile xyz value to bbox of the form [west, south, east, north]

• x {Number} x (longitude) number.
• y {Number} y (latitude) number.
• zoom {Number} zoom.
• tms_style {Boolean} whether to compute using tms-style. (optional, default false)
• srs {String} projection for resulting bbox ('WGS84'|'900913'). (optional, default 'WGS84')

Returns bbox array of values in form [west, south, east, north].

xyz(bbox, zoom, tms_style, srs)

Convert bbox to xyz bounds

• bbox {Number} bbox in the form [west, south, east, north].
• zoom {Number} zoom.
• tms_style {Boolean} whether to compute using tms-style. (optional, default false)
• srs {String} projection of input bbox ('WGS84'|'900913'). (optional, default 'WGS84')

Returns Hash object ({...}) for XYZ bounds containing :minX, :maxX, :minY, :maxY properties.

convert(bbox, to)

Convert bbox from 900913 to WGS84 or vice versa

• bbox {Number} bbox in the form [west, south, east, north].
• to {String} projection of resulting bbox ('WGS84'|'900913'). (optional, default 'WGS84')

Returns bbox array of values in form [west, south, east, north].

forward(lon_lat)

Convert lon, lat values (must be an array like [lon, lat]) to mercator x, y

inverse(xy)

Convert mercator x, y values (xy must be an array like [x, y]) to lon, lat
