[Qgis-user] Using more SRS

[Gerardo Jimenez]

I was able to define, store and reproject with the settings you mention. May be it is a procedure mistake.
First test them. copy the settings, and be sure  to not include extra spaces before or after the settings. Then define the crs
1) In the box name give a name to the settings2) In the settings box, put your settings, make sure you do not include extra spaces before or after the settings3)  click on the save icon (floppy)

As I mentioned before I used the settings to reproject a 10 million administrative boundaries file from natural earth data wich was in lat lon wg84 (EPSG: 4326) to robinson.

Hi, thnaks four your reply. I found proj4 definiton of Robinson projection at http://spatialreference.org/ref/esri/54030/proj4/. Just took the code and pasted into settings/custom crs, but qgis came up with "definiton is not valid" error. Am i doing something wrong?

You can add a cutom crs at Settings/custom crs. The main thing is that the must be in proj 4 format. If you are familiar with proj 4 settings it is worth to test them before definin a new crs. The dialog box of settings custom crs allows you to do so. You can find some proj 4 ready settings at

Just a quick search there gave about 14 different ones...
Hope it helps

Hi guys,I'm new to QGIS and i've been looking for some more SRS (i completely miss Eckert for example). Why aren't they included in QGIS? Is there a way to use them with QGIS?
