[GRASS-dev] A function for obtaining UTM coordinate

[roberto caselli]

Ok, row and col are known, but when I call 
G_col_to_easting or G_row_to_northing, they return lat/lon coordinates.
So I don't know how to tell to these functions that I want UTM coordinates.

If it is actually a cell of a GRASS raster map, then you also know its
row and column, which you can use with these functions.

If you want to transform arbitrary lat/lon coordinates to or from the
cartographic coordinate system used by the current location, see the
source code for v.proj for example code.

OTOH, if this doesn't actually involve GRASS in any way, you are
probably better off using the PROJ library directly. The only reason
to use the GRASS interface is if you want to use the projection
information from a location's PROJ_INFO file.
