It is possible to display a graticule if and only if your CRS is lat lon and their units are some flavor of degrees. If your CRS is in meter, which is the case with proj 4 robinson parameters, It is not possible. Would be nice to have the option that once you have a CRS you can get a graticule, or measuring grid or both...right now is only the a grid that honors your CRS measuring units....I do not know if using the built in GRASS it could be possible, hope some one knows... Cheers

So it is not possible to display graticule (http://db.tt/ULaDhv1L) with QGIS? On Sun, Nov 6, 2011 at 1:37 AM, Gerardo Jimenez <[email protected]> wrote: Glad to hear it works. I hit the grid wall in print composer to. Technically is not a graticule, since the projection units are meters, and composer will display the grid, and scale in the projection units. It would be interesting that Qgis could show a graticule or a measure grid. Right now you can only have a measure grid that display the projection units Saludos Gerardo Jiménez Delgado Instituto de Investigaciones Antropológicas Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Ciudad Universitaria s/n Coyoacan 04510 Mexico City Mexico 56 22 95 16 Date: Sat, 5 Nov 2011 18:16:47 +0100 Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] Using more SRS From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Oh my it started to work! :-) Dunno what i was doing wrong.

Just to get it right: I open qgis, add vector layer which defaults to wgs84, then i click settings - custom crs and copy +proj=robin +lon_0=0 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs into parameters line. and hit save. Then i got to project properties and select my CRS. Click ok and it should be done, right? Running qgis 1.7.1 on XP SP2. If i am doing everything right, i'm gonna report a bug or post to a forum special thread about this. PS: Even when i display graticule in map wizard, parallels and meridians are still orthogonal, wich i suppose is wrong with Robinson projection.

I tested the settings and spatial reference and qgis offer the same result with the same coordinates 3) This is odd, When I load my world map I have a scale of 1:110,006,231. This is the proj 4 definition I am using. +proj=robin +lon_0=0 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs I am running qgis standallone in win7 32 bits. I really do not know what is happening concerning the scale, Why not posting a new question, with just this problem, here in the mailing list and in the forum?

However, i found several errors/bugs/my own mistakes: 1) I took projection definiton at http://spatialreference.org/ref/esri/54030/proj4/ as i said earlier 2) I tried to test it in QGIS, e. g. I took coordinates generated at spatialreference.org, put them into QGIS and pushed Test button. The results i got were not equal to these obtained at spatialreference. (Comparison: SpatialReference output coordinates -929882.962919, -150401.172846 X QGIS Test coordinates -1052809,8856, -132264,0035). 3) Even though I pushed ok and let QGIS do the transformation using 50 milion country shapefile from NaturalEarth. Now the messy thing comes up: I got projection defined with meter units and when i overview the whole shapefile, the scale field says 1:1045, which means the whole world fits my screen and it is only 1045 times smaller than it actually is. I suppose there is something wrong, isn't it? On Sat, Nov 5, 2011 at 12:42 AM, Gerardo Jimenez <[email protected]> wrote: I was able to define, store and reproject with the settings you mention. May be it is a procedure mistake. First test them. copy the settings, and be sure to not include extra spaces before or after the settings. Then define the crs 1) In the box name give a name to the settings2) In the settings box, put your settings, make sure you do not include extra spaces before or after the settings3) click on the save icon (floppy) As I mentioned before I used the settings to reproject a 10 million administrative boundaries file from natural earth data wich was in lat lon wg84 (EPSG: 4326) to robinson.

I found proj4 definiton of Robinson projection at http://spatialreference.org/ref/esri/54030/proj4/. Just took the code and pasted into settings/custom crs, but qgis came up with "definiton is not valid" error. Am i doing something wrong?

If you are familiar with proj 4 settings it is worth to test them before definin a new crs. The dialog box of settings custom crs allows you to do so. You can find some proj 4 ready settings at http://spatialreference.org/ Just a quick search there gave about 14 different ones...
