[OSGeo Africa] Re: Africa Digest, Vol 31, Issue 6

[Wesley Roberts]

Hi Andrew,

I tried this a couple of months ago and R seemed happy with the
definition for both raster and vector data (although I am not 100%
sure). I posted a similar question on the R-sig-geo list and did not get
any replies. I know there are EPSG codes for LO coordinate systems but
they are all for the Hartebeeshoek datum and not WGS84.

Let me know if it works.

+proj=tmerc +south +ellips=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +lon_o=31 +k_0=1 +units=m
+no_defs

Regards,
Wesley

Hi
 
Can anyone confirm what the correct Proj4 definition is for our
Hartebeesthoek projections. The closest I have come up with is (for
2054):
+proj=tmerc +ellips=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +lon_0=31 +k_0=1 +units=m
+no_defs
 
I have tried on numerous occasions to get someone in the know to say if
its wrong or right. I do not know enough about the inner workings of
projection systems nor the different options available in the proj4
definitions * so if anyone who knows more than me about either of these
can help me/us come up with a definite definition this would help.
 
Gavin * I know you were looking into this a while ago? Did you get any
further?
 
Thanks
Andrew
