<P class=MsoNormal>Hello everyone!<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’ve been struggling with this for quite some time now, but
I can’t seem to find the proper solution. We need to set the projection
definition to provided datasets, and have, up to now, been doing it by using
our own projection dialog. We now want to change our plugin to use the,
already implemented, QGIS projection dialog.<BR><BR>So my question is as
follows: <BR><BR>Is there a way to convert a projection definition such
as those returned by the QGIS projection dialog <BR>eg:<BR>
+proj=utm +zone=36 +south +a=6378249.144808011 +b=6356514.966204134 +units=m
+no_defs<BR><BR>to the extended form such as the following:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><BR> PROJCS["UTM Zone 36, Southern
Hemisphere",GEOGCS["Unknown datum based upon the Clarke 1880
ellipsoid",DATUM["Not specified (based on Clarke 1880
spheroid)",SPHEROID["Clarke
1880",6378249.144808011,293.4663076556303,AUTHORITY["EPSG","7034"]]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],PARAMETER["central_meridian",33],PARAMETER["scale_factor",0.9996],PARAMETER["false_easting",500000],PARAMETER["false_northing",10000000],UNIT["Meter",1]]<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The reason for this is that the GDAL functions for setting
the projection definition, only accepts the extended form. If this is
already implemented in a QGIS or other class that you know of, I would greatly
appreciate it. (I don’t think I am qualified enough to attempt doing it
myself. <SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Wingdings">J</SPAN> )<BR><BR>Thank you for
your time and efforts!<BR>Francois Maass<BR>Foxhat
