<p>Hello folks!</p>
<p>I would like to plot a simple map of the WWF World Grassland
Types (the shape file is available at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.worldwildlife.org/publications/world-grassland-types">https://www.worldwildlife.org/publications/world-grassland-types</a></p>
<p>It is in an unusual projection. The .prj file is:</p>
<p>PROJCS["World_Goode_Homolosine_Land",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM
["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM
"Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION
["Goode_Homolosine"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",0.0],PARAMETER
["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",0.0],PARAMETER
["Option",1.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]]<br>
</p>
<p>The map does not include the outline countries of the world and
therefore I would like to add these (perhaps the NaturalEarth 110
million scale country shape file, which is in WGS84).</p>
<p>However, I cannot figure out how to align the grassland layer and
the 110 million NaturalEarth layer. As I understand it, I should
use Save As to reproject the grassland shape file with a new CRS
(perhaps Mercator). With Enable on the fly CRS transformation
enabled I should then be able to put the two shape files together
- but I am darned if I can obtain anything sensible: I cannot get
the two layers to align in any way.</p>
<p>With grateful thanks forĀ any help, Martin<br>
