[Thuban-list] projections and conversions

[Amagine]

Hello!

Just new to Thuban, looks promising!


I am curious about the projections data base.

What is the file format for producing these projections?

For my area I require NAD83 UTM Zone 9 (northern hemisphere) BC
Albers Equal projection.

I am also curious about converting my database of shapefile gis maps
into gml/xml format, is this possible in Thuban?


Thank you!

Not exactly sure what you mean. Thuban uses Proj which in turn
contains the EPSG codes which are converted by a small script into
a XML format for use by Thuban.

If GDAL/OGR can write gml, then in principle it is possible to have
Thuban do this using the GDAL/OGR Extension. But a bit of programming would
be needed.

However, there is also the ogr2ogr command line tool coming withg GDAL/OGR.
This might probably the best option for yoir file format conversion.
