Projection

This panel provides tools to select a Projection System, review and modify the selected one.

 

The panel has four Tabs. The Projection System can be selected on the first Tab. Due to the large number (4 thousands) of projection systems keywords should be entered. Enter the country name, projection or datum name to reduce the number of hits, for example: WGS 84 UTM 33. Searching by keywords facilitates the selection of the proper system. After selection the properties of the system will appear in the remaining three Tabs.

 

The second Tab shows the identifier, region, country, datum and grid name of the Projection System. The third Tab contains the Datum properties, and the fourth Tab the Grid properties. Existing projection systems can be altered quickly and the program has all the tools to define a new system. Metric, feet based and mixed systems (metric distances, feet heights) are supported.
