Re: [udig-devel] The World's on its side! (projection issue)
|
The .prj file is saying that the first axis is Lat and the second
axis is Lon. Open the .shp portion and inspect the actual ordinates.
It seems likely to me that this is an error in the .prj file in this
case, because if it were correct geotools would have actually done
the correct axis swap and things would have worked right. My guess
is that geotools is doing everything right, but that the input
information is actually wrong: in addition to checking the ordinates,
try reversing the order of the AXIS elements in the .prj, to make
sure geotools is in fact picking them up and trying to use them (I
think it is).

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):
