Hi, I imported a ESRIAsciiGrid with readGDAL(). The result is a SpatialGridDataFrame (SGDF).
The projection of the grid (only the xllcorner, yllcorner ?) is: Projection LAMBERT Units METERS Spheroid BESSEL (more details at the end of this email) How can I change this to gauss-krueger projection zone 3 (gk3)? I did not specify the projection in the SGDF, how is this done? summary(SGDF): Closing GDAL dataset handle (nil)... done. Object of class SpatialGridDataFrame Coordinates: min max x -250000 500000 y 20000 1020000 Is projected: NA proj4string : [NA] Number of points: 2 Grid attributes: cellcentre.offset cellsize cells.dim x -249500 1000 750 y 20500 1000 1000 Data attributes: band1 Min. : 812 .... There should be a simple way to use library(proj4) to make this transformation? Are I am right that actually only the "xllcorner, yllcorner"-values are transformed? Where can I find an easy (and maybe short) introduction to this topic? Thank you, Ingo ###### Description of Grid ...* Cell Size (meters) = 1000.000 Data Type: Integer Number of Rows = 1000 Number of Values = ....* Number of Columns = 750 Attribute Data (bytes) = ...* BOUNDARY: STATISTICS: Xmin = -250000.000 Minimum Value = ...* Xmax = 500000.000 Maximum Value = ...* Ymin = 20000.000 Mean = ...* Ymax = 1020000.000 Standard Deviation = ...* COORDINATE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Projection LAMBERT Units METERS Spheroid BESSEL Parameters: 1st standard parallel 50 0 0.000 2nd standard parallel 51 0 0.000 central meridian 9 0 0.000 latitude of projection's origin 47 0 0.000 false easting (meters) 0.00000 false northing (meters) 0.00000 _______________________________________________ R-sig-Geo mailing list R-sig-Geo@stat.math.ethz.ch https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-geo
