Hi,

These are cartographic coordinates, you have to request the correct
SRID from whomever supplied you with the data.

Good luck,

These coordinates do not correspond to WGS84 (long-lat, values between
-180, +180 for longitudes, -90, +90 for latitude).
Maybe try to find a SRID for Norway (spatialreference.org may help for that)

Re: [postgis-users] Invalid geometry when using select AsText

2010-07-06 Thread rdelisabeth

Hey Ben, thanks for the quick reply.

This is a piece of the geometry:

"MULTIPOLYGON(((-203203.329774775 921205.762417328,-201414.754122524
920564.899066353,….etc etc etc ……..,-263950.345631436

1216749.98205891,-263958.177279213 1216452.48684392)))"

These are the values when I query AsText from the original data, and it
represents a piece of norway.

Does this mean anything to you? I will try the 32630 and get back to you.

Thanks for the quick response,

This is a extract of the query AsText from the original column(before
transformation) This srid is suposed to be 4326 and I want to make it
900913.

"MULTIPOLYGON(((-203203.329774775 921205.762417328,-201414.754122524

I wonder if you have data from a UTM Grid - do the values look like reasonable 
longitude and latitude values (in degrees) for Spain. I'm on the wrong side of 
the planet to be sure what is right, but if you have any values greater than 
about 45, I think you probably have WGS84 UTM values, which would be in the 
10's to 100's of thousands.

instead of 4326 try something like 32630... just a guess.

Hi,
What the spain data look like ? Could you post some extract of it (astext) ?
It seems the data range is not compatible with WGS84, thus generating
invalid coordinates when transformed.

[postgis-users] Invalid geometry when using select AsText

2010-07-06 Thread rdelisabeth

I am doing a GIS project where I combine shapefiles from different sources,
created with different spatial reference systems. 

What I want to achieve is that if someone has a shapefile, no matter what
the srs is, the data can be combined with other data. All data will be
tranformed to srid 900913.

I succeeded in combining data from my Dutch and Belgian colleagues by using
the postgis transform function and transforming the geometries from "28992"(
Amersfoort / RD New) and "31370"(Belge 1972 / Belgian Lambert 72) to 900913.
This works perfeclty, the map of the Netherlands and Belgium are displayed
as they should.

My problem is the following. I also have some data from my colleagues from
Spain. Their data supposedly is in "WGS1984" epsg "4326". So I transformed
it to 900913 as I did with my other data. So far so good. BUT when I do a
SELECT AsText from one of the geometries I get the following:

"MULTIPOLYGON(((inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf
inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,
...etc etc ... inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf
inf,inf inf,inf inf),(inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf,inf inf)))"

I think this means that the geometry is invalid. When I read it from my
application using Hibernate spatial I get an error like invalid geometry.

I tried transforming from 4326 to 900913 and also from 94326 to 900913 but
with no luck.

Has anyone ever got this problem or does anyone knows what is going on here?

Thank you,

Ramses
