`The group of MetaCRS projects <http://trac.osgeo.org/metacrs/wiki>`_ provide
libraries of methods to transform between different coordinate reference
systems. A geographic coordinate reference systems allows all points on the
earth to be described as set of coordinates (such as latitude, longitude and
elevation). Different systems are used to represent the 3 dimensional earth
on a flat, 2 dimensional map.

The MetaCRS libraries are included in other projects and some are also
available via a command line interface.

The sub-projects that make up MetaCRS include:

* PROJ.4 (C++) - używany w :doc:`MapServer <mapserver_overview>`, :doc:`GRASS GIS <grass_overview>`, :doc:`PostGIS <postgis_overview>`, :doc:`Mapnik <mapnik_overview>`, Thuban, OGDI, TopoCad, OGRCoordinateTransformation i wielu innych.
* Proj4js (JavaScript) - używany w :doc:`OpenLayers <openlayers_overview>`.
* CS-Map (C++) - używany w MapGuide.
* GeoTIFF/libgeotiff (C++).
* Proj4J (Java).
* `SpatialReference.org <http://spatialreference.org/>`_  - Strona internetowa to retrieve coordinate system definitions.

Główne funkcje
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Provides point transformation from one coordinate reference system to another.
* Includes transformation between datums.
* Large number of projection classes supported.


Zaimplementowane standardy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The projects typically use coordinate system definitions as defined by the 
`European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) <http://www.epsg.org/>`_ and defined in
Well Known Text (WKT) format.
