You use proj_get_authorities_from_database() for that. Generally there’s functions

Hi Nyall,<br class="">
<br class="">
I am very happy to see that you have started working on this!<br class="">
<br class="">
You will probably get less discrepancies between the QGIS list of ellipsoids<br class="">
and the PROJ equivalent if you instead use proj_get_codes_from_database<br class="">
using type PJ_TYPE_ELLIPSOID.<br class="">

You should then be able to get the<br class="">
parameters with proj_ellipsoid_get_parameters. This is untested on my part<br class="">
but I believe that is the general workflow you have to go through to get the<br class="">
ellipsoid out of proj.db.<br class="">
<br class="">
proj_list_ellps() simply shows you the same list as you would get from calling<br class="">
`proj -le`, i.e. ellipsoids that can be used with `+ellps=xxx` parameters. This<br class="">
is confusing and I shall think of a way to change the docs so it is less confusing :-)<br class="">
<br class="">
It would be interesting to see the difference between the ellipsoid tables from<br class="">
The QGIS and PROJ databases.<br class="">

Hi list,<br class="">
<br class="">
So (thanks for sponsorship from the ICSM), I'm working on porting QGIS<br class="">
to the Proj 6 API. I suspect I'll have many more questions (especially<br class="">
as I attempt to drop QGIS' own custom projection database in favour of<br class="">
the upstream proj one). Let's get started...<br class="">
<br class="">
I thought I'd begin with a simple task of replacing QGIS' ellipsoid db<br class="">
with proj's, using proj_list_ellps(). QGIS has this table of<br class="">
"standard" ellipsoids, built up from... somewhere... in the vast<br class="">
history of the QGIS project. When comparing against proj's db, it<br class="">
includes many items which are missing in proj's:<br class="">

The vast majority of these are planetary ellipsoids/moons, but there's<br class="">
others which are less obvious (cape/IGNF*). So<br class="">
<br class="">
Question 1: should the non-Earth ellipsoids be included in the proj database?<br class="">
<br class="">
Question 2: What about cape/IGNF* ? Should they be included in proj,<br class="">
or are they mistakes and should not even be included in the current<br class="">
QGIS db?<br class="">
