I am trying to parse ESRI shapefiles that describe FAA TFRs. But they 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		 
		
	
	
	are in NAD83 projections, with accompanying .prj files that look like this: PROJCS["North_America_Lambert_Conformal_Conic", GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983", DATUM["D_North_American_1983",SPHEROID["GRS_1980", 6378137.0,298.257222101]], PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]], PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic"], PARAMETER["False_Easting",0.0], PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0], PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-93.13333333333335], PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_1",47.41333914430852], PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_2",47.43554955001912], PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",40.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0] ] A partial text dump of the corresponding .shp file looks like this: Shape:8 (Polygon) nVertices=37, nParts=1 Bounds  -3703.999933,823435.273920, 0, 0)to ( 3703.999933,830843.274058, 0, 0) ( 0.00000000,830843.27405814, 0, 0) Ring (643.19289130,830787.00193647, 0, 0) (1266.84264658,830619.89536055, 0, 0) (1852.00012149,830347.03211620, 0, 0) (2380.88541892,829976.70258255, 0, 0) ... I have not been able to figure out how to use .prj parameters to transform the coordinates in the shapefiles to WGS84 (lat/lon) format. Seems to me it should be a rather simple formula. Anyone out there familiar with this problem? -ted/2NO  |
