Purpose

 

The cartographic co-ordinates of a list of points can be transformed from one to another reference system to be chosen among those supported.

 

Technical Note

 

The input list must be provided in form of three text files containing the X, Y and Z co-ordinates. The output results are generated in form of both a shape (.shp) file, containing all the transformed points, and three text files containing the transformed point co-ordinates (same order and structure of the input list).

 

Input Files

 

Input X file

Co-ordinates of the input points in X (or Easting) direction. This file is mandatory.

 

Input Y file

Co-ordinates of the input points in Y (or Northing) direction. This file is mandatory.

 

Input Z file

Co-ordinates of the input points in Z direction (or elevation value). This file is optional, if it is not provided the elevation of the points will be set to 0.

 

DEM/Cartographic System

 

Input/Output Projection

The following parameters are compulsory to define the Cartographic System:

State

Definition of the country or general projection systems.

 

Projection

Definition of the projection system of the selected State. In case that a general projection system is selected in State, the Projection is automatically set.

 

Ellipsoid

Definition of the ellipsoid. This is chosen according to the selected State and Projection.

 

Hemisphere

Definition of the hemisphere. This is chosen according to the selected State and Projection.

 

Zone

Definition of the zone. This is chosen according to the selected State and Projection.

 

Datum Shift Parameters

Definition of the datum shift parameters. These are chosen according to the selected State and Projection.

 

Output Files

 

Output Root Name

Name of the output root. It is mandatory.

 

_X.txt        

Transformed co-ordinates of the input points in Easting direction.

 

_Y.txt        

Transformed co-ordinates of the input points in Northing direction.

 

_Z.txt        

Transformed elevation values.

 

.shp        

Transformed points in shape format and ancillary files (.shx, .dbf).

 

.xls        

Xls file containing the point co-ordinates.

 

Details specific to the Units of Measure and Nomenclature of the output products can be found in the Data Format section.
