Purpose

 

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

 

Technical Note

 

None.  

 

DEM/Cartographic System

 

Input Projection/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.

 

•Easting/X Coordinate

East - West cartographic co-ordinate of the point.

 

•Northing/Y Coordinate

North - South cartographic co-ordinate of the point.

 

•Height

Point elevation on the Geoid.

 

•Geoid ondulation

The height difference on the point, between the Geoid and the Ellipsoid, is calculated.

 

Cartographic Parameters

The reference parameters for some projection systems (e.g. Stereographic, Polar Stereographic, Gnomonic, Mercator, Miller, Albers, etc.) can be set.

 

Parameters - Principal Parameters

 

Easting/X coordinate

Easting (X) coordinate of the point to be transformed, the converted value will be displayed on screen.

 

Northing/Y coordinate

Northing (Y) coordinate of the point to be transformed, the converted value will be displayed on screen.

 

Height/Z coordinate

Height (Z) of the point to be transformed, the converted value will be displayed on screen.

 

Parameters - Global

 

It brings to the general section of the Preferences parameters. Any modified value will be used and stored for further processing sessions.

 

Parameters - Other Parameters

 

It brings to the general section of the Preferences parameters. Any modified value will be used and stored for further processing sessions.

 

Output Files

 

The transformed output coordinates will be displayed in a pop-up window.
