gis:load-coordinate-system
gis:load-coordinate-system file
Loads a new global projection used for projecting or re- projecting GIS data as it is loaded from a file. The file must contain a valid Well-Known Text (WKT) projection description.
WKT projection files are frequently distributed alongside GIS data files, and usually have a “.prj” filename extension.
Relative paths are resolved relative to the location of the current model, or the user’s home directory if the current model hasn’t been saved yet.
The GIS extension does not support all WKT coordinate systems and
projections. Only geographic ("GEOGCS") and
projected ("PROJCS") coordinate systems are
supported. For projected coordinate systems, only the following
projections are supported:
- Albers_Conic_Equal_Area
- Lambert_Conformal_Conic_2SP
- Polyconic
- Lambert_Azimuthal_Equal_Area
- Mercator_1SP
- Robinson
- Azimuthal_Equidistant
- Miller
- Stereographic
- Cylindrical_Equal_Area
- Oblique_Mercator
- Transverse_Mercator
- Equidistant_Conic
- hotine_oblique_mercator
- Gnomonic
- Orthographic
See remotesensing.org for a complete list of WKT projections and their parameters.
