I've been tearing my hair out for 2 days over what I thought was a Python problem only to discover that it's another inconsistency with the projection information files--with ellipse.table again. <BR>
<BR>
For example, the line for wgs84 is...<BR>
<BR>
wgs84 "World Geodetic System 1984" a=6378137.000 f=1/298.257223563<BR>
<BR>
But for it to be read into g.proj in acceptable format, it needs to be...<BR>
<BR>
wgs84 "World Geodetic System 1984" a=6378137.000 rf=298.257223563<BR>
<BR>
That is, 1/298.257223563 needs to be 298.257223563<BR>
<BR>
Why is it 1/298.257223563? Is this correct in some kind of format acceptable to g.proj?<BR>
<BR>
Anyway, with this solved, the location wizard works for all except xy locations (suggestions on how to make?) and extents.<BR>
