Good morning all.
I am new here and am after some advice. I presume this is the correct place to
ask.
I am using GeoServer (2.5.1) to make WMS calls and I want the map in a gnomonic
projection.
If I understand the WMS specification correctly (06-042) I need to use the AUTO
(AUTO2) namespace
for CRS "for a class of CRSs that include a user-selected centre of
projection".
As the specification and the GeoTools code only contains a handful of
projections
I assume I need to make changes to the code to include a new projection.
So I have made changes to the gt-referencing module, added a new AUTO Factlet,
added a new Gnomonic projection and have got something working.
I now have two questions (one a bit general and one specific to GeoTools)
1. Is this the correct way of getting a WMS with a gnomonic projection?
I cannot see any other mechanism but the WMS specification seems a bit
specific having
just 5 projections rather than a mechanism for passing parameters into a
projection.
2. Should these code changes be submitted as a patch?
I have added a new AUTO namespace with an arbitrary code. This seems like
a useful addition
but is not included in the WMS (1.1.1 or 1.3.0) specification.
