Hello everybody:
We are working with in a program similar to m.datum.shift. We need this program calculates itself the shift values.
We are going to use the datum's definitions that we have found on datum.c file:
File $GISBASE/src/libes/coorcnv/datum.c:
---------------------------------------------------
"wgs72", "World Geodetic System 1972", 0.0, 0.0, 0.0,
"na27", "North American 1927", -22.0, 157.0, 176.0,
"a&c", "Alaska and Canada", -9.0, 139.0, 173.0,
"eur", "European", -84.0, -103.0, -127.0,
"tokyo", "Tokyo", -140.0, 516.0, 673.0,
"aus", "Australian Geodetic", -122.0, -41.0, 146.0,
"osgb", "Ordnance Survey of Great Britain", 368.0, -120.0, 425.0,
"sa69", "South American 1969", -77.0, 3.0, -45.0
----------------------------------------------------
We also need to add other datums. So, our new datum's table is the next:
DATUM dx dy dz ELLIPSOID
===== == == == =========
grs80 ? ? ? grs80
wgs84 0 0 0 wgs84
wgs72 0 0 0 wgs72
eur50 -84 -103 -127 hayford - international
na27 -22 157 176 clarke66
arc50 ? ? ? clarke80
osGB 368 -120 425 airy
aus -122 -41 146 australian
tokyo -140 516 673 bessel
indian ? ? ? everest30
afgooye ? ? ? krassovsky
sa69 ? ? ? s. america
? ? ? ? new international
We would like TO COMFIRM if our table is right. Also we need to complete it because we don't know the shitf values of the next datums (character ? in the table ):
grs80: ellipsoid grs80
arc50: ellipsoid Clarke 80
indian: ellipsoid Everest 30
afgooye: ellipsoid Krassovsky
sa69: ellipsoid South America 69
Could any one help us, please?
Thanks in advance
