In South Africa we use a South Oriented Transverse Mercator projection. X increases from north to south and Y increases from east to west. This is backward as far as (most) the rest of the world is concerned. Proj.4 does not support south oriented tmerc so when using qgis et al I need to change the signs of my coordinates. This is a real pain when moving back and forth between qgis et al and my proprietary Civil Design software which supports the South African datums. Hoping for a project sometime that will fund the development of proj.4 to support south oriented tmerc ... ;-) Craig -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Quantum-GIS-and-cadastre-tp14477338p14665987.html Sent from the qgis-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.qgis.org http://lists.qgis.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
