| Apr 13, 2017 at 2:01 | comment | added | splinter | I am lacking on the terminology. I will express it in a new thread with a figure. | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 1:59 | comment | added | Michael Stimson | That would be another question. The rules here are one question per question, if you have another then please ask on a new thread. When you say 'cartesian' what do you mean? Mathematically cartesian coordinates are X, Y (optional Z) which can describe just about any spatial reference. | |

I will do that. But I notice that now my plot has just different scale, but still ugly to view. I think I am looking for a projection into cartesian coordinates, that I can work with in matplotlib. Sorry for the confusion, I am new to GIS.

| Apr 13, 2017 at 1:38 | comment | added | splinter | Thank you. Just to let others know: the last comment by @MichaelMiles-Stimson is exactly what I was looking for. | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 1:21 | comment | added | Michael Stimson | there is an example jswhit.github.io/pyproj in your case p1 = Proj(init='epsg:3857') p2 = Proj(init='epsg:4326') to project from Web Mercator to WGS84 geographic. | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 1:11 | comment | added | splinter | @MichaelMiles-Stimson I edited the question with the .prj text | |

| Apr 13, 2017 at 1:07 | comment | added | Michael Stimson | Where do the points come from? You say shapefile so there should be a .prj file with it, open in Notepad (or your favorite text editor) and copy/paste the whole string into your question. If there's not a prj file then you need to find out from the agency or people you got the data from what spatial reference they used to store the data in. | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 1:06 | comment | added | splinter | Thanks for pointing that out. I am not sure, is there perhaps a way to check this? | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 1:02 | comment | added | Michael Stimson | EPSG 3857 isn't a UTM projection, Zone 36 north is EPSG:32636. The EPSG code should be all you need... proj, zone, ellips are all specified in the EPSG. Those numbers don't look right for UTM, are you sure it's UTM and not web mercator or Lamberts? | |
