Sender: grass-lists-owner@max.cecer.army.milHi Folks,
I am trying to fully integrate GRASS database support into the PCI software
...
following is an example of one of these files:
name: Albers Equal Area
proj: aea
ellps: aust_ntl
a: 6378160.0000000000
es: 0.0066945419
lat_0: -25.0000000000
lon_0: 135.0000000000
lat_1: -25.0000000000
I cannot speak to the GRASS issues but must comment on the above
projection parameters. They are INCORRECT and will give erroneous values
depending on how the default file is set. Albers *requires* two
standard parallels: lat_1 and lat_2. If one is missing (as above)
a value will be used from the default file (if present) or will
assume a value of 0. I doubt that either of these conditions is what
the user wants.
...
