Re: [osg-users] convert GPS coordinates to local terrain coordinates
Stephane, When we deploy txp databases, we always create an archive.prj file to accompany the archive.txp file. The prj file contains a WKT-format description of the projection. (WKT is a standard format that OGR can read directly.) This, along with the offsets in projInfo.txt, gives you everything you need for spatial referencing. As for the LA database, best guess would be either UTM 11N or California State Plane Zone V. But that is just a guess. The real answer is to check the source TerraVista project if you can. -gw -- Glenn Waldron : Pelican Mapping : http://pelicanmapping.com : 703-652-4791 On Dec 4, 2007 3:10 AM, Stephane DUGUET [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Glenn, My txp file is « Los Angeles ». I'll have a look to OGR/GDAL and come back to you is any issue. By the way, the most important for my project is to know the projection type associated with the terrain is mandatory. So If I want to be compatible with any terrain, I need to introduce a kind of terrain's user description at selection time.
