Function	Arguments and Return
convert_meters_to_merc_pixel_width(meters, lon, lat, min_lon, max_lon, img_width, min_width)	Converts a distance in meters in a longitudinal direction from a latitude/longitude coordinate to a pixel size using mercator projection: meters: Distance in meters in a longitudinal direction to convert to pixel units. lon: Longitude coordinate of the center point to size from. lat: Latitude coordinate of the center point to size from. min_lon: Minimum longitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view. max_lon: Maximum longitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view. img_width: The width in pixels of the view. min_width: Clamps the returned pixel size to be at least this width. Returns: Floating-point value in pixel units. Can be used for the width of a symbol or a point in Vega.
convert_meters_to_merc_pixel_height(meters, lon, lat, min_lat, max_lat, img_height, min_height)	Converts a distance in meters in a latitudinal direction from a latitude/longitude coordinate to a pixel size, using mercator projection: meters: Distance in meters in a longitudinal direction to convert to pixel units. lon: Longitude coordinate of the center point to size from. lat: Latitude coordinate of the center point to size from. min_lat: Minimum latitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view. max_lat: Maximum latitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view. img_height: The height in pixels of the view. min_height: Clamps the returned pixel size to be at least this height. Returns: Floating-point value in pixel units. Can be used for the height of a symbol or a point in Vega.
convert_meters_to_pixel_width(meters, pt, min_lon, max_lon, img_width, min_width)	Converts a distance in meters in a longitudinal direction from a latitude/longitude POINT to a pixel size. Supports only mercator-projected points. meters: Distance in meters in a latitudinal direction to convert to pixel units. pt: The center POINT to size from. The point must be defined in the EPSG:4326 spatial reference system. min_lon: Minimum longitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view. max_lon: Maximum longitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view. img_width: The width in pixels of the view. min_width: Clamps the returned pixel size to be at least this width.

The point must be defined in the EPSG:4326 spatial reference system. min_lat: Minimum latitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view. max_lat: Maximum latitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view. img_height: The height in pixels of the view. min_height: Clamps the returned pixel size to be at least this height. Returns: Floating-point value in pixel units. Can be used for the height of a symbol or a point in Vega.
is_point_in_merc_view(lon, lat, min_lon, max_lon, min_lat, max_lat)	Returns true if a latitude/longitude coordinate is within a mercator-projected view defined by min_lon/max_lon, min_lat/max_lat. lon: Longitude coordinate of the point. lat: Latitude coordinate of the point. min_lon: Minimum longitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view. max_lon: Maximum longitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view. min_lat: Minimum latitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view. max_lat: Maximum latitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view. Returns:True if the point is within the view defined by the min_lon/max_lon, min_lat/max_lat; otherwise, false.
is_point_size_in_merc_view(lon, lat, meters, min_lon, max_lon, min_lat, max_lat)	Returns true if a latitude/longitude coordinate, offset by a distance in meters, is within a mercator-projected view defined by min_lon/max_lon, min_lat/max_lat. lon: Longitude coordinate of the point. lat: Latitude coordinate of the point. meters: Distance in meters to offset the point by, in any direction. min_lon: Minimum longitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view. max_lon: Maximum longitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view. min_lat: Minimum latitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view. max_lat: Maximum latitude coordinate of the mercator-projected view.
