# Tools

Utilities around a run: watching its progress, converting positions to and
from geographic coordinates, and land/coast fields for each model. They
replace the *Tools* chapter of the Fortran documentation (*in situ*
post-processing and pyTRAJ).

- [Monitoring and debug output](monitoring.md): `RunMonitor` backends and
  `verbose` logging.
- [Coordinates](coordinates.md): `xy_to_lonlat` and `lonlat_to_xy` for the
  adapters and for any grid.
- [Land and coast](coast.md): `landmask` and `distance_to_land` for every
  model.
- [Analysing trajectories](../tutorials/analysis.md): recipes with
  `tracmass.load` and `pandas`.
