Hi Matthew,

try cs2cs instead of proj, e.g.

cs2cs +init=epsg:26915 +to +proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m [EMAIL PROTECTED] +wktext +no_defs


With proj you have to do the inverse projection from epsg:26915 (your from projection) to latlon/wgs84 (epsg:4326) first,

proj -I -f "%.8f" +init=epsg:26915

In a second step project the resulting latlon coordinate into your to-projection:

proj -f "%.4f" +proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m [EMAIL PROTECTED] +wktext +no_defs

Both version should work. Just for comparison, I got the following result for the first point of your extent:

epsg:26915        : 184056.505, 4809728.25
epsg:4326         : -96.89976708 43.37391004
your to projection: -10786832.7293 5369059.0540

I hope, that this is correct and will help.

Hi,

This question is tangential to Mapserver, but critical to me
nonetheless.  I'm trying to reproject a shapefile in a mapfile from

=========================================================
PROJECTION
    "init=epsg:26915"
END
=========================================================

to

=========================================================
PROJECTION
        "+proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0
+y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m [EMAIL PROTECTED] +wktext  +no_defs"
END
=========================================================

my extent in the 'from' projection are:

=========================================================
EXTENT      184056.505 4809728.25 767381.245 5478975.75
=========================================================

Can someone help me figure out what my EXTENT should be in my 'to'
projection?  I've tried the following extents derived from the 'proj'
command line outputs as extents, but was not successful:

=========================================================
$ proj -I -f "%.4f" +proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0
+lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+wktext  +no_defs
184056.505 4809728.25
1.6534  39.6121
767381.245 5478975.75
6.8935  44.0874

$ proj -I -f "%.4f" +init=epsg:26915
184056.505 4809728.25
-96.8998        43.3739
767381.245 5478975.75
-89.3140        49.4047
=========================================================

Anybody have any ideas what I am doing wrong?  Do I somehow have to
chain projections together to get from my 'from' projection to my 'to'
projection?

Thanks,
Matt
