Re: [udig-users] WGS84 problem
|
You can define your own custom "CRS" for the layer.
1. right click on the layer (after you have loaded it)
2. choose the CRS property page
3. select a good normal WGS84 starting point (such as "EPSG:4326") it should look something like this:
GEOGCS["WGS 84",
DATUM["World Geodetic System 1984",
SPHEROID["WGS 84", 6378137.0, 298.257223563, AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich", 0.0, AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],
UNIT["degree", 0.017453292519943295],
AXIS["Geodetic longitude", EAST],
AXIS["Geodetic latitude", NORTH],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]]
4. Switch to the tab that lets you define your own
5. Modify the "well known text" description so that the axis information is different (and matches your data)
I hunted down some examples for you here:
- http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/advanced/crshandling/customcrs.html
it looks like the "scale factor" may actually just allow you to do what you want? The "Well known text" is actually a standard defined by the OGC - so if you really get stuck you can read the standard?

Hello, I have problem with dataset (MySQL) which is stored in integer WGS84 coords, so it is multiplied by 1 million. For example coordinate 24.002525 is stored as 24002525 (same rule for both coords). Is there any magic in uDig to display this?
