-.. Index:: cct
-
-
-
-
-``cct`` a 4D equivalent to the ``proj`` projection
-program, performs transformation coordinate systems 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.
-
-cct is an acronym meaning *Coordinate Conversion and Transformation*.
-
-The acronym refers to definitions given in the OGC 08-015r2/ISO-19111
-standard "Geographical Information -- Spatial Referencing by Coordinates",
-which defines two different classes of *coordinate operations*:
-
-*Coordinate Conversions*, which are coordinate operations where input
-and output datum are identical (e.g. conversion from geographical to
-cartesian coordinates) and
-
-*Coordinate Transformations*, which are coordinate operations where
-input and output datums differ (e.g. change of reference frame).
-
-``cct``, however, also refers to Carl Christian Tscherning (1942--2014),
-professor of Geodesy at the University of Copenhagen, mentor and advisor
-for a generation of Danish geodesists, colleague and collaborator for
-two generations of global geodesists, Secretary General for the
-International Association of Geodesy, IAG (1995--2007), fellow of the
-American Geophysical Union (1991), recipient of the IAG Levallois Medal
-(2007), the European Geosciences Union Vening Meinesz Medal (2008), and
-of numerous other honours.
-
-cct, or Christian, as he was known to most of us, was recognized for his
-good mood, his sharp wit, his tireless work, and his great commitment to
-the development of geodesy -- both through his scientific contributions,
-comprising more than 250 publications, and by his mentoring and teaching
-of the next generations of geodesists.
-
-As Christian was an avid Fortran programmer, and a keen Unix connoisseur,
-he would have enjoyed to know that his initials would be used to name a
-modest Unix style transformation filter, hinting at the tireless aspect
-of his personality, which was certainly one of the reasons he accomplished
-so much, and meant so much to so many people.
-
-Hence, in honour of cct (the geodesist) this is cct (the program).
-
-
-
-Synopsis
-********
-
-::
-
- cct [ -cotvz [ args ] ]... +opts[=arg]... file...
-
-Description
-***********
-The following control parameters can appear in any order:
-
-::
-
- -c x,y,z,t
- --columns=x,y,z,t
- Specify input columns for (up to) 4 input parameters. Defaults to 1,2,3,4
-
- -o <output file name>
- --output=<output file name>
- Specify the name of the output file.
-
- -t <time>
- --time=<time>
- Specify a fixed observation time to be used for all input data.
-
- -z <height>
- --height=<height>
- Specify a fixed observation height to be used for all input data.
-
- -v
- --verbose
- Write non-essential, but potentially useful, information to stderr.
- Repeat for additional information (-vv, -vvv, etc.)
-
-The ``+args`` arguments are associated with coordinate operation parameters. Usage varies with
-operation. For a complete description consult the `projection pages <../projections/index.html>`_
-
-
-Examples
-********
-
-1. The operator specs describe the action to be performed by cct. So the following script
-
-::
-
- echo 12 55 0 0 | cct +proj=utm +zone=32 +ellps=GRS80
-
-will transform the input geographic coordinates into UTM zone 32 coordinates.
-Hence, the command
-
-::
-
- echo 12 55 | cct -z0 -t0 +proj=utm +zone=32 +ellps=GRS80
-
-Should give results comparable to the classic proj command
-
-::
-
- echo 12 55 | proj +proj=utm +zone=32 +ellps=GRS80
-
-2. Convert geographical input to UTM zone 32 on the GRS80 ellipsoid:
-
-::
-
- cct +proj=utm +ellps=GRS80 +zone=32
-
-3. Roundtrip accuracy check for the case above:
-
-::
-
- cct +proj=pipeline +proj=utm +ellps=GRS80 +zone=32 +step +step +inv
-
-4. As (2) but specify input columns for longitude, latitude, height and time:
-
-::
-
- cct -c 5,2,1,4 +proj=utm +ellps=GRS80 +zone=32
-
-5. As (2) but specify fixed height and time, hence needing only 2 cols in input:
-
-::
-
- cct -t 0 -z 0 +proj=utm +ellps=GRS80 +zone=32

-
-
-``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
-
-::

- 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.

-
-``geod`` (direct) and ``invgeod`` (inverse) perform geodesic ("Great

-longitude, azimuth and distance (direct) or the forward
-and back azimuths and distance between an initial and terminus
-point latitudes and longitudes (inverse). The results are

-
-

-call geod with the -I option.
-
-
-
-Synopsis
-********
-

-
- invgeod +ellps=<ellipse> [ -afFIlptwW [ args ] ] [ +args ] file[s]
-
-Description
-***********
-The following command-line options can appear in any order:
-
-::
-
- -I Specifies that the inverse geodesic computation is to be
- performed. May be used with execution of geod as an
- alternative to invgeod execution.
-
- -a Latitude and longitudes of the initial and terminal
- points, forward and back azimuths and distance are output.
-
- -ta A specifies a character employed as the first character
- to denote a control line to be passed through without
- processing.
-
- -le Gives a listing of all the ellipsoids that may be
- selected with the +ellps= option.
-
- -lu Gives a listing of all the units that may be selected
- with the +units= option.
-
- -[f|F] format
- Format is a printf format string to control the output
- form of the geographic coordinate values (f) or distance
- value (F). The default mode is DMS for geographic
- coordinates and "%.3f" for distance.
-
- -[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 with leading zeroes.
-
- -p This option causes the azimuthal values to be output as
- unsigned DMS numbers between 0 and 360 degrees. Also
- note -f.
-
-The ``+args`` command-line options are associated with geodetic
-parameters for specifying the ellipsoidal or sphere to use.
-See ``proj`` `documentation <proj.html>`_ for full list of these parameters and
-controls. The options are processed in left to right order
-from the command line. Reentry of an option is ignored with
-the first occurrence assumed to be the desired value.
-
-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 direct determinations input data must be in latitude, longitude,
-azimuth and distance order and output will be latitude,
-longitude and back azimuth of the terminus point. Latitude,
-longitude of the initial and terminus point are input for the
-inverse mode and respective forward and back azimuth from the
-initial and terminus points are output along with the distance
-between the points.
-
-Input geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) and
-azimuthal data must be in decimal degrees or DMS format and
-input distance data must be in units consistent with the ellipsoid
-major axis or sphere radius units. The latitude must lie
-in the range [-90d,90d]. Output geographic coordinates will be
-in DMS (if the -f switch is not employed) to 0.001" with trailing,
-zero-valued minute-second fields deleted. Output distance
-data will be in the same units as the ellipsoid or sphere
-radius.
-
-The Earth's ellipsoidal figure may be selected in the same manner
-as program ``proj`` by using ``+ellps=``, ``+a=``, ``+es=``, etc.
-
-Geod may also be used to determine intermediate points along
-either a geodesic line between two points or along an arc of
-specified distance from a geographic point. In both cases an
-initial point must be specified with ``+lat_1=lat`` and ``+lon_1=lon``
-parameters and either a terminus point ``+lat_2=lat`` and
-``+lon_2=lon`` or a distance and azimuth from the initial point
-with ``+S=distance`` and ``+A=azimuth`` must be specified.
-
-If points along a geodesic are to be determined then either
-``+n_S=integer`` specifying the number of intermediate points
-and/or ``+del_S=distance`` specifying the incremental distance
-between points must be specified.
-
-To determine points along an arc equidistant from the initial
-point both ``+del_A=angle`` and ``+n_A=integer`` must be specified
-which determine the respective angular increments and number of
-points to be determined.
-
-Examples
-********
-
-The following script determines the geodesic azimuths and distance in U.S.
-statute miles from Boston, MA, to Portland, OR:
-
-::
-
- geod +ellps=clrk66 <<EOF -I +units=us-mi
- 42d15'N 71d07'W 45d31'N 123d41'W
- EOF
-
-which gives the results:
-
-::
-
- -66d31'50.141" 75d39'13.083" 2587.504
-
-where the first two values are the azimuth from Boston to Portland,
-the back azimuth from Portland to Boston followed by the distance.
-
-An example of forward geodesic use is to use the Boston location
-and determine Portland's location by azimuth and distance:
-
-::
-
- geod +ellps=clrk66 <<EOF +units=us-mi
- 42d15'N 71d07'W -66d31'50.141" 2587.504
- EOF
-
-which gives:
-
-::
-
- 45d31'0.003"N 123d40'59.985"W 75d39'13.094"
-
-.. note::
- Lack of precision in the distance value compromises the
- precision of the Portland location.

-Description
-***********
-The following control parameters can appear in any order
-
-::
-
- -b Special option for binary coordinate data input and output through standard input
- and standard output. Data is assumed to be in system type double floating point
- words. This option is to be used when proj is a son process and allows bypassing
- formatting operations.
-
- -i Selects binary input only (see -b option).
-
- -C Check. Invoke all built in self tests and report. Get more verbose report by
- preceding with the -V option).
-
- -I alternate method to specify inverse projection. Redundant when used with invproj.
-
- -o Selects binary output only (see -b option).
-
- -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.
-
- -S Causes estimation of meridional and parallel scale factors, area scale factor and
- angular distortion, and maximum and minimum scale factors to be listed between <>
- for each input point. For conformal projections meridional and parallel scales
- factors will be equal and angular distortion zero. Equal area projections will
- have an area factor of 1.
-
- -m mult
- The cartesian data may be scaled by the mult parameter. When processing data in
- a forward projection mode the cartesian output values are multiplied by mult
- otherwise the input cartesian values are divided by mult before inverse projection.
- If the first two characters of mult are 1/ or 1: then the reciprocal value of mult
- is employed.
-
- -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.
- 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. Should not be used with the -T
- option.
-
- -V This option causes an expanded annotated listing of the characteristics of the
- projected point. -v is implied with this option.
-
- -T ulow,uhi,vlow,vhi,res[,umax,vmax]
- This option creates a set of bivariate Chebyshev polynomial coefficients that
- approximate the selected cartographic projection on stdout. The values low and
- hi denote the range of the input where the u or v prefixes apply to respective
- longitude-x or latitude-y depending upon whether a forward or inverse projection
- is selected. Res is an integer number specifying the power of 10 precision of
- the approximation. For example, a res of -3 specifies an approximation with an
- accuracy better than .001. Umax, and vmax specify maximum degree of the polynomials
- (default: 15).
-
-
-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>`_
-
-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 ASCII 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 format and input cartesian data
-must be in units consistent with the ellipsoid
-major axis or sphere radius units. Output
-geographic coordinates will be in DMS (if the -w
-switch is not employed) and precise to 0.001"
-with trailing, zero-valued minute-second fields
-deleted.
