windkit.spatial.BBox.utm_bbox_from_geographic_coordinate

classmethod BBox.utm_bbox_from_geographic_coordinate(longitude, latitude, buffer=10000.0, datum_name='WGS 84')

Create a bounding box object in UTM coordinates from a geographic coordinate and a buffer distance

The UTM zome will be estimated from the longitude coordinate.

Parameters:

• longitude (float) – longitude coordinate of the point

• latitude (float) – latitude coordinate of the point

• buffer (float) – buffer distance in meters

• datum_name (str) – Name of the datum to use for the UTM zone estimation. Defaults to “WGS 84”.

Returns:

A BBox object
