Hello all,
This query is about a discrepancy between projection results using the *Custom CRS Test* and *on-the-fly* transformation, and not about RSO per se. The Proj4 parameters for GDM2000 / Peninsula RSO (EPSG:3375) as given by epsg_tr.py (GDAL 1.9.2) are: +proj=omerc +lat_0=4 +lonc=102.25 +alpha=323.0257964666666 +k=0.99984 +x_0=804671 +y_0=0 +gamma=323.1301023611111 +ellps=GRS80 +units=m +no_defs This Malaysian projection requires the +no_off or *+no_uoff* flag (both works) for rotation at the natural origin as of proj 4.8. To test, I created a custom CRS based on GDM2000 / Peninsula RSO adding this flag. However, there seems to be some discrepancy between the on-the-fly derived results and the Test in the Custom CRS definition dialog. I set the project CRS as the custom CRS I created and added the test point in WGS84. Test points: *1.827764875* deg N, *103.640259872222* deg E (WGS84 EPSG:4326) Expected results: Northing *202,122.062* m, Easting *627,096.132* m (EPSG:3375) *The test points and projected coordinates are taken from the GDM2000 Technical Manual published by the Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia. * *Test results (standard EPSG:3375)*: cs2cs — -240332.04, 958936.71 QGIS Master (13d35ac) On-the-fly derived: Y = -240,332.0326, X = 958,936.7057 QGIS Master (13d35ac) Custom CRS Test:* -240,332.0326* N, *958,936.7057* E QGIS 1.8 On-the-fly: projected coordinates not derived QGIS 1.8 Custom CRS Test: -240,332.0326 N, 958,936.7057 E *Test results (with +no_off flag)*: cs2cs — 202122.06, 627096.13 QGIS Master (13d35ac) On-the-fly derived: Y =* -240,332.0326*, X = * 958,936.7057* QGIS Master (13d35ac) Custom CRS Test: *202,122.0625* N, *627,096.1317* E QGIS 1.8 On-the-fly: projected coordinates not derived QGIS 1.8 Custom CRS Test: 202,122.0625 N, 627,096.1317 E It looks like the Custom CRS Definition Test dialog is giving the correct result, but the on-the-fly transformation is ignoring the +no_off flag. Is the on-the-fly transformation using a different transformation process and reading the proj4 parameters differently, or am I going about this wrongly? Regards
