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
