PROJ-7ea472f54849f3230d5865884ef75c4edcda3fa8.zip
Major restructure and rewrite of docs.
A section on "Using PROJ.4" has been introduced giving a introduction on how to use PROJ.4. The Parameters section has been removed and the content reworked into other sections. Additionally the order of chapters has been changed to provide a more complete and readable experience for users of the documentation.

-
-``cs2cs`` performs transformation between the source and destination cartographic coordinate system
-on a set of input points. The coordinate system transformation can include translation between
-projected and geographic coordinates as well as the application of datum shifts.
-
-
-Synopsis
-********
-
-::
-
- cs2cs [ -eEfIlrstvwW [ args ] ] [ +opts[=arg] ] [ +to [+opts[=arg]] ] file[s]
-
-Description
-***********
-The following control parameters can appear in any order:
-
-::
-
- -I method to specify inverse translation, convert from +to coordinate system to the
- primary coordinate system defined.
-
- -ta A specifies a character employed as the first character to denote a control line
- to be passed through without processing. This option applicable to ascii input
- only. (# is the default value).
-
- -e string
- String is an arbitrary string to be output if an error is detected during data
- transformations. The default value is: *\t*. Note that if the -b, -i or -o
- options are employed, an error is returned as HUGE_VAL value for both
- return values.
-
- -E causes the input coordinates to be copied to the output line prior to printing the
- converted values.
-
- -l[p|P|=|e|u|d]id
- List projection identifiers with -l, -lp or -lP (expanded) that can be selected
- with +proj. -l=id gives expanded description of projection id. List
- ellipsoid identifiers with -le, that can be selected with +ellps,-lu list of
- cartesian to meter conversion factors that can be selected with +units or -ld
- list of datums that can be selected with +datum.
-
- -r This options reverses the order of the expected input from longitude-latitude or
- x-y to latitude-longitude or y-x.
-
- -s This options reverses the order of the output from x-y or longitude-latitude to
- y-x or latitude-longitude.
-
- -f format
- Format is a printf format string to control the form of the output values. For
- inverse projections, the output will be in degrees when this option is employed.
- If a format is specified for inverse projection the output data will be in deci-
- mal degrees. The default format is "%.2f" for forward projection and DMS for
- inverse.
-
- -[w|W]n
- N is the number of significant fractional digits to employ for seconds output (when
- the option is not specified, -w3 is assumed). When -W is employed the fields
- will be constant width and with leading zeroes.
-
- -v causes a listing of cartographic control parameters tested for and used by the
- program to be printed prior to input data.
-
-The ``+args`` run-line arguments are associated with cartographic parameters. Usage varies with
-projection and for a complete description consult the `projection pages <../projections/index.html>`_
-
-The cs2cs program requires two coordinate system
-definitions. The first (or primary is defined
-based on all projection parameters not appearing
-after the +to argument. All projection parameters
-appearing after the ``+to`` argument are considered
-the definition of the second coordinate
-system. If there is no second coordinate system
-defined, a geographic coordinate system based on
-the datum and ellipsoid of the source coordinate
-system is assumed. Note that the source and
-destination coordinate system can both be projections,
-both be geographic, or one of each and
-may have the same or different datums.
-
-Additional projection control parameters may be
-contained in two auxiliary control files: the
-first is optionally referenced with the
-``+init=file:id`` and the second is always processed
-after the name of the projection has been established
-from either the run-line or the contents
-of ``+init`` file. The environment parameter
-PROJ_LIB establishes the default directory for a
-file reference without an absolute path. This
-is also used for supporting files like datum
-shift files.
-
-One or more files (processed in left to right
-order) specify the source of data to be transformed.
-A - will specify the location of processing standard input.
-If no files are specified, the input is assumed to be from stdin.
-For input data the two data values must be in
-the first two white space separated fields and
-when both input and output are ASCII all trailing
-portions of the input line are appended to
-the output line.
-
-Input geographic data (longitude and latitude)
-must be in DMS or decimal degrees format and
-input cartesian data must be in units consistent
-with the ellipsoid major axis or sphere radius
-units. Output geographic coordinates will normally
-be in DMS format (use ``-f %.12f`` for decimal
-degrees with 12 decimal places), while projected
-(cartesian) coordinates will be in linear
-(meter, feet) units.

-Example
-*******
-The following script
-
-::
-
- cs2cs +proj=latlong +datum=NAD83
- +to +proj=utm +zone=10 +datum=NAD27
- -r <<EOF
- 45d15'33.1" 111.5W
- 45d15.551666667N -111d30
- +45.25919444444 111d30'000w
- EOF
-
-will transform the input NAD83 geographic coordinates into NAD27
-coordinates in the UTM projection with zone 10 selected. The geographic
-values of this example are equivalent and meant as examples of various forms of DMS input.
-The x-y output data will appear as three lines of:
-
-::
-
- 1402285.99 5076292.42 0.000
