NAME

       shpproj - Reproject Shapefiles using PROJ.4

SYNOPSIS

       shpproj  in_shp_file  out_shp_file  [-i=in_proj_file  |  -i="in_params"  |  -i=geographic]
       [-o=out_info_file | -o="out_params" | -o=geographic]

OPTIONS

       in_shp_file
              the name of an existing shapefile.

       out_shp_file
              the name of the new fixed shapefile that will be created.

       -i     Input projection. Input can come from one of three sources. A projection  parameter
              file, directly through parameters or geographic. If the shapefile has an associated
              prj file, name the same as the shapefile but ending in ".prj" it will  be  used  by
              default  ignoring  all  other  parameters.  If  input  is  omitted  it  defaults to
              geographic, unless the default prj file exists.

       -o     Output can come from one of three sources. A projection  parameter  file,  directly
              through parameters or geographic. If output is omitted it defaults to geographic.

PROJECTION DETAILS

       PROJECTION PARAMETER FILE
              This  file  MUST  end  with the extension ".prj". It has the form of one projection
              parameter per line. Parameters can be in any order. The projection  parameters  are
              those used to define a PROJ.4 projection.

       PROJECTION PARAMETERS
              Are the same as used by proj and invproj.

       use: proj -lu to see available units proj -le to see available ellipsoid

       Or visit the PROJ.4 web page at http://www.remotesensing.org/proj for more details.

EXAMPLE

       The  following  example  projects  file rowtest to row3, moving data from Stateplane NAD83
       zone 1002 to utm zone 16 in meters

       shpproj rowtest row -i="init=nad83:1002 units=us-ft" -o="proj=utm zone=16 units=m"

       shpproj rowtest row3 -o="proj=utm zone=18 units=m" -i="zone=16 proj=utm units=us-ft"

       shpproj rowtest row3 -o="proj=utm zone=18 units=m"

       This example uses a prj file and converts to geographic. note that  -o=geographic  can  be
       ommitted.

       shpproj rowtest row3 -i=myfile.prj -o=geographic
