[GRASSLIST:9198] XY to Projection

Hi,
V.Transform cannot transform an XY location to
a Projected Location, say WGS-84.

However if it is a projected location… then V.Transform can Change to another projection.

So if a beginer

  1. Scans a map
  2. Spends days painstakingly to vectorise it…

And then it dawns upon him, that it must be projected…
HE HAD IT…

Developers please clear this lacuna.

ThanQ

Ok, so you have your unprojected vector layer digitised from an
unprojected raster map.

To project both now:

1. Project your raster map in Grass first.
2. Export the unprojected vector to a shapefile and import to the
destination location, where the background . It won't fit to your
projected raster - of couerse

In the "group" directory of you source location there is a file which
stores points you marked with i.poins when calibarting raster.
3.

  Dive into your grassdata/caves_xy/wlasnosc/group/wlasnosc

Use the same coordinates for

Sorry for my previous email, my finger slipped and sent to soon.

Ok, so you have your unprojected vector layer digitised from an
unprojected raster map.

To project both do:

1. Project your raster map in Grass first (i.group, i.target, i.points,
i.rectify).
2. Export the unprojected vector to a shapefile and import to the
destination location, where your projected raster is stored. The vector
won't fit yet to your projected raster - of course - but you will fix it
with v.transform in next setps.
3. In the "group" directory of you source location there is a file
"POINTS" which was created by i.points when calibarting raster. Format
those points according to NOTES from v.transform manual page. Save the
file in you home dir as, say, "ravi_points"
4. v.transform input=your_unprojected_vector output=projected_vector
pointsfile=~/ravi_points.

Does this work (honestly, I haven't tried)?

This works and we have been doing this to rescue, those vectors hurriedly done
without projecting the raster before vectorisation.
This is a solution, but
U export XY vector as a shape
Then import it into a projected location, to do the job.

I hope one day this will be simplified.
Thanks again
