Purpose

 

Shape files may be transformed from one cartographic reference system to another.

 

Technical Note

 

None.  

 

Input Files

 

Input file list

Input file name(s) of the vector file to be transformed (only ".shp" data type is admitted). This file is mandatory.

 

DEM/Cartographic System

 

Output Projection

In case the Reference file is not used, 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.

 

Cartographic Parameters

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

 

Output Files

 

Output file list

Output file name(s) of the transformed vector file. This file is mandatory.

 

_rsp        

Transformed data and associated header files (.sml, .hdr).

 

_rsp_par.sml        

Xml file containing temporary processing parameters.

 

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