Dear PROJ list members, I hope I may ask here a question about the use of “triangulation-based transformations”, which are implemented in PROJ. It is my aim to use it with QGIS, but the problem seems to lie with the way I approach PROJ.
I have created a file according to your specifications documented as part of PROJ: http://datastore.franz-benjamin.net/my-projection-mlB4gBJk.json It transforms EPSG:4326 coordinates to coordinates in some new coordinate system. I have now the following questions: (1) The following command works well: ==================================== > echo 2 1 | src/cct -z0 -t0 +proj=tinshift > +file=/Users/franz-benjamin/Downloads/my-projection.json 225850.4491 123074.6957 0.0000 0.0000 ==================================== (2) The following does not work: ==================================== > src/proj +proj=tinshift > +file=/Users/franz-benjamin/Downloads/my-projection.json Rel. 8.1.1, September 1st, 2021 <proj>: can't initialize operations that take non-angular input coordinates program abnormally terminated ==================================== I have also tried it with the most current version, and it does not work either. Any idea? (3) In QGIS (v3.20.2), I go to Settings->Options to then enter a user defined CRS with the Proj String “+proj=tinshift +file=/Users/franz-benjamin/Downloads/my-projection.json”. When I press validate, it says: ==================================== This proj projection definition is not valid: proj_create: invalid value for file ==================================== This QGIS version uses PROJ 8.1.1, hence the choice of the PROJ version in (2). Any idea why it does not work? (4) I am unsure about which “output_crs” to specify in the my-projection.json file because I am using my own CRS. I just set it to “EPSG:3395” to use *some* CRS, but also “My CRS” and “EPSG_4326” do not work. Any idea what I should enter here? I tried many different options, parameters, google searches, etc. but could not find any way to make it work under QGIS. Do you have some idea of what I am doing wrong? I would really be thankful if you could push me in the right direction. Thank you! I have tried for two days but could not find any solution. Thank you in advance for your appreciated help!
