I am using org2ogr on linux (fc3). I am attempting to reproject a
shapefile that is in lat/long to UTM Zone 15.
Here is my syntax: [root at localhost data]# ogr2ogr sail_trk.shp -a_srs
EPSG:26915
I get this response indicating that my syntax is either wrong or that
it doesn't recognize my epsg code:
Usage: ogr2ogr [-skipfailures] [-append] [-update] [-f format_name]
[-select field_list] [-where restricted_where]
[-sql <sql statement>]
[-spat xmin ymin xmax ymax] [-preserve_fid] [-fid FID]
[-a_srs srs_def] [-t_srs srs_def] [-s_srs srs_def]
[[-dsco NAME=VALUE] ...] dst_datasource_name
src_datasource_name
[-lco NAME=VALUE] [-nln name] [-nlt type] layer [layer ...]]
-f format_name: output file format name, possible values are:
-f "ESRI Shapefile"
-f "TIGER"
-f "S57"
-f "MapInfo File"
-f "DGN"
-f "Memory"
-f "CSV"
-f "GML"
-f "Interlis 1"
-f "Interlis 2"
-f "SQLite"
-f "PostgreSQL"
-append: Append to existing layer instead of creating new
-update: Open existing output datasource in update mode
-select field_list: Comma-delimited list of fields from input layer to
copy to the new layer (defaults to all)
-where restricted_where: Attribute query (like SQL WHERE)
-sql statement: Execute given SQL statement and save result.
-skipfailures: skip features or layers that fail to convert
-spat xmin ymin xmax ymax: spatial query extents
-dsco NAME=VALUE: Dataset creation option (format specific)
-lco NAME=VALUE: Layer creation option (format specific)
-nln name: Assign an alternate name to the new layer
-nlt type: Force a geometry type for new layer. One of NONE, GEOMETRY,
POINT, LINESTRING, POLYGON, GEOMETRYCOLLECTION, MULTIPOINT, MULTILINE,
MULTIPOLYGON, or MULTILINESTRING. Add "25D" for 3D layers.
Default is type of source layer.
-a_srs srs_def: Assign an output SRS
-t_srs srs_def: Reproject/transform to this SRS on output
-s_srs srs_def: Override source SRS
Srs_def can be a full WKT definition (hard to escape properly),
or a well known definition (ie. EPSG:4326) or a file with a WKT
definition.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
David.
