Hi,

 

I hope someone can help me.

 

I am trying to convert some points in Long / lat format to World Equidistant
Cylindrical projection

 

I have the following information on the projection:-

 

 

 

PROJCS["World_Equidistant_Cylindrical",

GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",

DATUM["D_WGS_1984",

SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],

PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],

UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],

PROJECTION["Equidistant_Cylindrical"],

PARAMETER["False_Easting",0.0],

PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],

PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",0.0],

PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_1",60.0],

UNIT["Meter",1.0]]

 

The Long lat points are in MapInfo Format and it can be the same or a shp
file as an output.

 

Can anyone tell how I format the ogr2ogr statement?

 

Many thanks

 

Martin
