[Qgis-user] Coordinates in map units are different between ArcInfo and Qgis

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hi,

The scaling factor “+k=0.9996” does not seem to be present in your ArcInfo CRS…
Could be a reason...

Cheers
Stefan

Hi Mark,


The projection that I use in Qgis and ArcInfo is:
QGIS: +proj-sterea +lat_0=53.5 + lon_0=-76.0 +k=0.9996 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0.0 +a=631816.16075 +b=631816.16075 +units=m +nodefs
ArcInfo: has different representation but the same thing:
Projection           STEREOGRAPHIC
Datum                  NONE
Zunits                   NO
Units                     METERS
XShift                    0.00000000000
YShift                    0.00000000000
Parameters         631816.16075 0.00000000000
                              1 /* Projection type < 1 | 2 >
631816.16075       /*radius of sphere of reference
-76   0 0.000           /* longitude of center of projection

53     30 0.000         /* latitude of center of projection
0.00000                  /* false easting (meters)
0.00000                  /* false westing (meters)

One more thing ArcInfo uses directive COORDINATES in AML to extract the coordinates.
Thanks,
Marian

Hi.

Can somebody explain me why coordinates in map units read by Qgis are different than those read by ArcInfo?
How can I make the two coordinates to be the same?

What is the projection of the arc/info coverage?

Is QGIS set to the same projection?

Mark
