Utility fileCrsConvert: command-line file-based multiple-point conversion between
any two cartographic reference systems (projected or geographic). The utility takes as
input a columnar ASCII file, column IDs for the coordinates to convert, and source/target
CRS IDs. Converted coordinates are inserted at the beginning of each line in the output
file. Any header lines in the files will be ignored if prefixed with a
# symbol. Usage:
fileCrsConvert filein fileout xloncol ylatcol src_crs_id target_crs_id
prompt> fileCrsConvert iraq1.dat iraq2.dat 3 2 726 727
Utility CrsConvert: GUI for file-based multiple-point conversion between any two
cartographic reference systems (projected or geographic). The user choses a conversion
direction (one of four options) and specifies the input and output data files; the input is
displayed in table form in the GUI. Then choose the CRS selection mode, either list all
CRSs or just those in use in the OW projects (a shorter list). After choosing an input and
output CRS and X Y or Lat Lon columns, click ‘Run’ and then ‘View Output’:
Utilities fileXY2LL and fileLL2XY: file-based bulk conversion of X/Y to Lat/Long
coordinates (and vice versa) within the context of a specified OW project. These are
deprecated in favor of fileCrsConvert. These utilities takes as input a columnar ASCII
file, compute latitude and longitude for the specified column IDs containing the X and Y
coordinates (or vice-versa), and inserts these at the beginning of each line in the file.
If the crsflag is specified as project, the CRS information is taken from the specified
OpenWorks project; if wgs84 conversion to WGS84 geographic datum is carried out.
Usage: fileXY2LL owproj filein fileout Xcol Ycol ?crsflag?
Usage: fileLL2XY owproj filein fileout Latcol Loncol ?crsflag?
