I'm a little late on the table :-) As descision already cast: https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/qgis-latlontools-plugin/issues/53#issuecomment-731070055 and fine with it, just want to add: I'm not a geo-guy by original trade and working with scientists/911 peeps at the moment, who favour the math-way of exchanching coordinates (2 dimensional values): X,Y. If I were 'boss geo', I'd never use lonlat or latlon terms, only use (decimal!) degrees or x,y :-) (people tend to mix lat lon up all the time, they never do with x,y). In my use-case, the Lat Lon Tools plugin is used in a very pluriform, international environment where coordinates from all kind of crs's are to be mixed/converted (often one pair at a time...). Why would you use YX in one crs and XY in other crs's? It's just not very efficient to have that choice. Just like meters/feet, point/comma delimeters in numbers etc etc. This screams for conversion issues ... Ah, and while on it, let's all speak Esparanto (and keep the number of QGIS translation builds low) ;-) Korajn salutojn, Richard Duivenvoorde _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
