[GRASS-user] converting LAT/LON shape file to X/Y shape file

Hi.

I would like to know if there is a way to convert a shapefile defined with Lat/Lon into a shapefile defined with X and Y.

One could setup a lat/long location and an xy location and project from one to another in GRASS.

Alternatively, one can use gdal’s ogr2ogr command to reproject the shapefile at the command line outside of GRASS, if the goal is to simply reproject a shapefile.
