List of Projections

Configure a List of Projections to provide the user specific defined Projections for several purposes:

Search/Reproject Coordinates

Upload Local Geodata

WebOffice extract server

Export Profile Raster Data

Print

Vertex geometry

 

icon_comment

The List of Projections and Projections have to be defined for each of the listed tools individually.

It is not possible to include a projection several times in the list of projections. If a projection is entered several times, e. g. to use different transformations (different transformation code / string), only the first configured transformation is used. It is always recommended to use the same transformation code / string if a projection occurs in the list of projections in different tools. If problems occur, the WebOffice log file displays a corresponding message.

Property

Description

Name of main map projection

Name of geographic projection of main map.

icon_comment

When configuring a List of Projection element for the Search/Reproject Coordinates tool the value entered in this field will also provide the name of main map projection displayed in the status bar/map if Show Coordinates is set to true.

List of Projections configuration

 

Below the list of projections, configure Projection element to specify projections parameters for target projections. Provide EPSG code if available. Provide projection parameters otherwise.

Property

Description

Name

Projection name appearing in the user interface.

icon_comment

The herein used project description is the same as the one used to fill in the Non-Configurable Function Field syn_crs in a print template.

Projection ID/String

Provide EPSG code if available. Provide projection parameters otherwise (Easiest way is to copy it out of the .prj file).

Geographic Transformation Code/String

Geographic transformation code. Codes are listed in <ArcGIS_Desktop_Installation_Folder>\Documentation\geographic_transformations.pdf or you may use the VertiGIS Projection Helper

Result precision

Specifies how many digits after the comma should be used for display of double values.

Output format

Specifies output format for coordinates

decimal output as double - the number of digits is defined by the Result precision

degree output in degrees (DD°MM'SS.NN'') - the number of digits of the seconds is defined by the Result precision

degree_decimal_minutes provides the output in  (GG°MM,NN'') format.  The number of decimal digits is defined by the Result precision.

icon_comment

To achieve a similar accuracy as in the degree format, a larger number of decimal is required.

<latitude/longitude> in clipboard?

Specifies whether the coordinates get formatted <latitude/longitude> (true) or <longitude/latitude> (false) in the clipboard.

icon_comment

Note that e.g. Google Maps uses the format <longitude/latitude>.

This parameter has only impact with geographic coordinate systems (e.g. WGS84).

Projection category

Group category for projection lists displayed for the following tools: Search/reproject coordinate

icon_comment

Deleting and then adding the node List of Projections or single projections may change the projection ID in the XML file. This changed ID must also be adjusted in the GWR Integrator tool, if configured.
