.set_country(+)

Description

Set the destination country of the to be generated Planit XML network file by the PlanitNetworkWriter. This country name is used to determine the best possible coordinate reference system (projection) to use for the geometry information of the network.

If the country is not set by the user, the choice for the destination coordinate reference system is based on the coordinate reference system of the source network that is to be persisted. This is likely sufficient in most cases, but sometimes a country specific projection is required in which case the country can be provided here.

Whenever a country name is to be supplied, make sure this name complies with the ISO 3166 standard (see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes ).

# Set country explicitly to Australia: Australian Lambert projection will be adopted
planit_writer.settings.set_country("Australia")

# perform conversion
