Re: [udig-devel] The World's on its side! (projection issue)
|
I think this is the north-east issue. The actual definition of
EPSG:4326 is that the first coordinate is the north-south, and the
second is east-west. But most servers and shapefile don't follow the
spec. I guess OGR does. Bad bad people! I think it is time for the
user to be able to set the CRS on a layer. The model has the concept
but the UI doesn't yet.

When I load shapefiles into UDIG, I find that everything is flipped on
its side (so antarctica runs north-south on the left side of the map).
If I delete the .prj file and re-load, it works correctly.
The dataset came from ogr2ogr.
I'm assuming this is Geotools CRS & PROJ.4 disagreeing on what 4326
actually means.
Other than deleting all my .prj files (which I dont really want to do
since other products use them just fine) what can I do? Is there a
"like-everyone-else's 4326" mode?
I think Geotools needs to talk with Frank Warmerdam (the OGR/GDAL/PROJ.4
lead).
This is with today's nightly build of UDIG (which I think is the same as
yesterday's release).
I previously mentioned this to jody.

PS. This UDIG release looks good -- "good job" to all!

here's the .prj file (it came from ogr2ogr-ing the standard VMAP0
files):
GEOGCS["NAD83",DATUM["North_American_Datum_1983",SPHEROID["GRS
