Hi Otto! (and list)
Thanks for your help. It worked.
At least in Windows - because i can remember that i tried nearly the
same with Linux and it did not.
But I have to check that anyway when I'm back home and on my Linux-PC.
Expect a mail with a report on linux too ;)
So it seems that there is really no existing projection for the (in
austria) common UTM WGS84 M15.
And nevertheless - all files i loaded into QGIS where fully equipped
with a .prj file.
So were there any discussion about reading .prj files i missed or can
someone (hopefully a developer) provide me some information why QGIS is
not reading .prj infos?
At least a small button with "read prj file" to give the right .prj file
for reading raster or vector files would even be more helpfull (and at
least easier) than defining the projection by myself.
I know it's the same as SPSS vs. R where it can lead to wrong
interpreted results using a click-click interface compared to a
"console-driven" text interface where you really have to know what you
are doing but .. see the .prj files are provided so why looking for the
projection if it is already there?
Is there any ongoing discussion about trying to read the .prj files
automatically or at least integrate them in the loading process somehow?
thanks to all for your help and information
regards
werner
Hi Werner,
I tried to find your raster file projection "UTM_WGS84_M15", but it doesn't seem
to be available. What happens if you create your own CRS in QGIS. From your .prj
file this should work:
Setings -> Custom CRS
Name: UTM_WGS84_M15
Parameters: +proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=15 +k=0.9996 +x_0=500000 +y_0=-5000000
+ellps=WGS84 +units=m +datum=WGS84 +no_defs
Then you load the raster, which is projected in "UTM_WGS84_M15", choose your
custom projection in the Project Properties dialog, select "Enable OTF" and
load the shape. The vector should now fit with the raster.
