Hi Tom,
Perhaps the following reference could be of help to you when you start writing the plugin: Computers&Geosciences: 1986, V12, pp175-197 - DIGMAP: a computer program for accurate acquisition by digitizer of geographical coordinates from conformal projections. (FORTRAN IV code on a Z-80!!!) Regards, Benoit On 21/02/2014 09:56, Thomas Colley wrote: > Hi Nathan > > Thanks for replying.
