[Gdal-dev] Transform from epsg:26912 to esri:102758 issue...

[Jason M. Nielsen]

I have data in epsg:26912 and the client wants it transformed to esri:102758.

The destination system is "NAD-1983_Stateplane_Wyoming_West_FIPS_4904_Feet"
according to ArcGIS.

If I try to do a direct transformation the following occures:

[root at mapserver s]# gdalwarp -s_srs epsg:26912 -t_srs esri:102758
south_lincoln.tif south_lincolnx.tif 
ERROR 1: Translating source or target SRS failed:
esri:102758

So instead I have specified the parameters as follows:

gdalwarp -s_srs epsg:26912 -t_srs "+proj=tmerc +lat_0=40.5
+lon_0=-110.0833333333333 +k=0.999938 +x_0=799999.9999999999 +y_0=100000
+ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +to_meter=0.3048006096012192" south_lincoln.tif
south_lincolnx.tif

Now this translates but I then have another issue. gdalinfo reports the
following which looks all good accept one thing thats bugging me.  Note the
false_easting and false_northing. The client gave me a print out of the
projection defines which included those two values. I have also confirmed the
clients printout in both ArcGIS and AutoCAD 2002. The false origin listed by the
client is as follows:

false_easting: 2624666.666667
false_northing: 328083.333333

Note that these are a factor of 3.2808 of those created during the gdal
transformation below.

So the question is. Who's is correct? And if my output is wrong what am I doing
incorrectly or are the defines in the esri proj file incorrect? Or am I bugging
out over nothing?

Thanks,
Jason.
