-The vertical grid shift is done by offsetting the vertical input coordinates by
-a specific amount determined by the loaded grids. The simplest use case of the
-horizontal grid shift is applying a single grid. Here we change the vertical
-reference from the ellipsoid to the global geoid model, EGM96::
-
- +vgridshift +grids=egm96_16.gtx
-
-
-More than one grid can be loaded at the same time, for instance in the case where
-a better geoid model than the global is available for a certain area. Here the
-gridshift is set up so that the local DVR90 geoid model takes presedence over
-the global model::
-
- +vgridshift +grids=@dvr90.gtx,egm96_16.gtx
-
-The ``@`` in the above example states that the grid is optional, in case the grid
-is not found in the PROJ search path. The list of grids is prioritized so that
-grids in the start of the list takes presedence over the grids in the back of the
-list.
-
-PROJ supports the GTX file format for vertical grid corrections. Details
-about all the format can be found in the GDAL documentation. GDAL both reads and
-writes the format. Using GDAL for construction of new grids is recommended.
