rgdal (version 1.5-32)

project: Projection of coordinate matrices

Description

Interface to the PROJ.4 library of projection functions for geographical position data, no datum transformation possible. Use spTransform() for extended support.

Usage

project(xy, proj, inv = FALSE, use_ob_tran=FALSE, legacy=TRUE,
 allowNAs_if_not_legacy=FALSE, coordOp = NULL, verbose = FALSE,
 use_aoi=TRUE)

Value

A two column matrix with projected coordinates.

Arguments

xy

2-column matrix of coordinates

proj

character string of projection arguments; the arguments must be entered exactly as in the PROJ.4 documentation, in particular there cannot be any white space in +<arg>=<value> strings, and successive such strings can only be separated by blanks.

inv

default FALSE, if TRUE inverse projection to geographical coordinates

use_ob_tran

default FALSE, if TRUE and “+proj=ob_tran”, use General Oblique Transformation with internalised from/to projection reversal; the user oblique transforms forward rather than inverse.

legacy

default TRUE, if FALSE, use transform C functions (enforced internally for Windows 32-bit platforms)

allowNAs_if_not_legacy

used if legacy is FALSE, default FALSE; introduced to handle use of NAs as object separators in oce

coordOp

default NULL, for PROJ >= 6 used to pass through a pre-defined coordinate operation

verbose

default FALSE, for PROJ >=6 used to show the coordinate operation used

use_aoi

With PROJ >= 6, use the area of interest defined as the range of xy in limiting the search for candidate coordinate operations; set FALSE if use_ob_tran is TRUE

Details

Full details of projection arguments available from website below, and examples in file "epsg" in the data directory installed with PROJ.4.

Note that from PROJ.4 4.9.3, the definition of UTM is changed from TMERC to ETMERC; see example.
