[mapserver-users] South pole projection issues

[Fuchs Juan Carlos]

Hi folks!

is there someone, who could translate this *.prj to some WKT

i could pass to Mapserver (projection) to get both maps, one over the
other??

 

this is my *.prj from the base-map, so to say.

 

PROJCS["Transverse
Mercator",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",63781
37.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943
3]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",3500000.0],P
ARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-66.0],PARAMETER
["Scale_Factor",1.0],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",-90.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]
]

 

this is the snippet in WKT from my *.map file (Projection of the base-map)

 

            PROJECTION

              "proj=tmerc"

              "lat_0=-90"

              "lon_0=-66"

              "k=1"

              "x_0=3500000"

              "y_0=0"

              "ellps=WGS84"

              "datum=WGS84"

              "units=m"

            END

 

 

This is the *.prj from the shp i have, and need to bring along with the
other one.

 

PROJCS["lambert",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984
",6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.01745329
25199433]],PROJECTION["Lambert_Azimuthal_Equal_Area"],PARAMETER["False_Easti
ng",10000000.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",6391246.5],PARAMETER["Central_Mer
idian",-60.0],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",-40.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]]

 

that is my best try so far,: WKT from my *.map file layer (Projection)

 

            PROJECTION

                        "proj=laea"

                        "ellps=WGS84"

                        "lat_1=40"

                        "lon_0=-60"

                        "south"

            END

 

what can i say? it displays VERY ugly...

 

Thanks in advanced for any help/advice you can give me.

JC
