[GRASS-user] WKT format in setting a location

[RichardC]

Hi,

When creating a LOCATION, a WKT definition can be used to set a coordinate
reference system.

WKT formats come in a number of formats (as listed through the command
gdalsrsinfo -o all EPSG:n): OGC, OGC-simple, OGC-no CT, and ESRI (e.g., a
shapefile's PRJ file).

Is any format preferred or all are equally acceptable? The differences
include omitting AUTHORITY details.

>From testing using one EPSG code, it appears that the CRS is set correctly
within GRASS using all WKT formats, but just wanted to confirm as cannot
find in documentation.

Thanks,
Richard
