[gdal-dev] ogr2ogr vector central meridian change, vector offset issue.

[Ilia Koen]

Hello,
     We are trying to re-project the coral reef dataset via ogr2ogr for 
the dataset to fit the bluemarble projection. The coral reef is a vector 
shape dataset and it is using the Lambert Cylindrical Equal Area at -160 
central meridian. Once we re-project we are getting lines connecting the 
shapes that are cutoff at the edges from -180 to 180. Is that a bug ? 
or  are we doing something wrong?

You can see the offset issue here

Here is the location of the dataset 
http://www.wri.org/publication/reefs-at-risk-revisited#datasets

Our command is as follows:
ogr2ogr  -s_srs '+proj=cea +lon_0=-160 +lat_ts=0 +x_0=0 +y_0=0' -t_srs 
EPSG:4326 reefPoly28.shp reef_500_poly.shp

We did try to use the "-spat -180 -90 180 90" flag with the above commnd 
but without success.

Thanks, ik.
