Hi,
I am looking for a convenient way to convert the SRS parameters from a
random shapefile.prj into proj.4 format. A command line interface would
be most helpful for a non-programmer, like me.
As far as I can see: Grass' g.proj is expected to do the job, but I did
not get any further than to this g.proj error: "Segmentation fault" :-(
I understand that the related functionality is in the OGR source code,
somewhere in the neighbourhood of the OGRSpatialReference method, but
how can a non-programmer make use of it?
My current workaround is to write a temporary *.gmt file and read the
parameters from its header, e.g.:
# @Jp"+proj=utm +zone=33 +ellps=GRS80 +units=m +no_defs "
I have a vague feeling that this is not the most elegant way to do it
and hope that some smarter people have a better solution.
Hermann
