Dear all,

thanks heaps to Jochem and Even, this is great ! What a reactivity !
I managed to run my translation, rotation and back - all went well.

I thought the easiest would have been the z but somehow proj does not
recognize my +zoff argument for an affine transformation.

For example in my below proj command, the +zoff is ignored...Have you
encountered this before?

echo 115.90428843055600 -1.92307681111111 126.014 0 | proj +proj=pipeline
+step +proj=tmerc +lat_0=-1.90355333888889 +lon_0=115.900912891667
+y_0=538.374 +x_0=5200.27 +ellps=GRS80 +step +proj=affine
+xoff=-5225.30897756133 +yoff=830.070127940344 +step +proj=affine
+s21=-0.0072010369955164367159  +s12=0.0072010369955164367159
+tscale=1.00001760710142 +step +proj=affine +xoff=5225.30897756133
+yoff=-830.070127940344 +step +proj=affine +xoff=-9.85881089465147
+yoff=-0.172038726321603 +zoff=-18.541

If you have a suggestion...
Thanks !
Best regards,

Pierre C
