Hi Frank,

thanks for the reply. I did as you suggested and gdalsrsinfo acts accordingly.


>>>
gdalsrsinfo '+proj=rhealpix -I +lon_0=0 +a=1 +ellps=WGS84 +npole=0 +spole=0 
+wktext'


PROJ.4 : '+proj=rhealpix -I +lon_0=0 +a=1 +ellps=WGS84 +npole=0 +spole=0 
+wktext'


OGC WKT :
PROJCS["unnamed",
    GEOGCS["WGS 84",
        DATUM["unknown",
            SPHEROID["WGS84",6378137,298.257223563]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
        UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]],
    PROJECTION["custom_proj4"],
    EXTENSION["PROJ4","+proj=rhealpix -I +lon_0=0 +a=1 +ellps=WGS84 +npole=0 
+spole=0 +wktext"]]

>>>


I then tried the same with gdalwarp (on one of the examples file that comes 
with GDAL)


>>>
 gdalwarp -s_srs EPSG:26711 -t_srs '+proj=rhealpix -I +lon_0=0 +a=1 
+ellps=WGS84 +npole=0 +spole=0 +wktext' ~/data/utm_orig.tif rhealpix.tif
Processing input file /home/markus.mueller/data/utm_orig.tif.
ERROR 6: Failed to initialize PROJ.4 with `+proj=rhealpix -I +lon_0=0 +a=1 
+ellps=WGS84 +npole=0 +spole=0 +wktext'.
0...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.

>>>


It produces an output file though. Should I be concerned about the created 
error or can I ignore it?




Many thanks,


Markus

Michael,


Healpix is not directly supported by OGRSpatialReference - the core of the 
coordinate system machinery for GDAL/OGR.  However, you can request GDAL to 
treat this as a PROJ.4 extension to WKT by adding the +wktext flag.  I would 
add that the -E and -f flags are options to the cs2cs commandline program, and 
not part of a PROJ.4 coordinate system and so should not be included.  The 
result is something like this:
 
gdalsrsinfo '+proj=rhealpix -I +lon_0=0 +a=1 +ellps=WGS84 +npole=0 +spole=0 
+wktext'

PROJ.4 : '+proj=rhealpix -I +lon_0=0 +a=1 +ellps=WGS84 +npole=0 +spole=0 
+wktext'

OGC WKT :
PROJCS["unnamed",
     GEOGCS["WGS 84",
        DATUM["unknown",
            SPHEROID["WGS84",6378137,298.257223563]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
        UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]],
     PROJECTION["custom_proj4"],
    EXTENSION["PROJ4","+proj=rhealpix -I +lon_0=0 +a=1 +ellps=WGS84 +npole=0 
+spole=0 +wktext"]]


Best regards,
Frank

  Greetings,   I am unable to use the HEALpix and rHEALPix projections which 
have been added about a year ago to proj.4 in gdalwarp.  Is there a 
configuration file for gdal that needs to be updated for this projection?
 
 
 Here is the command in question that fails:
  gdalwarp -s_srs EPSG:26711 -t_srs '+proj=rhealpix -f '%.2f' -I +lon_0=0 +a=1 
+ellps=WGS84 +npole=0 +spole=0 -E'  ~/data/utm_orig.tif rhealpix.tif
 The error message
 “Translating source or target SRS failed:”
