Following the example in the man page if I do
proj +proj=utm +lon_0=112w +ellps=clrk66 -r man.page.lat.lon.txt
where the file man.page.lat.lon.txt contains
45d15'33.1" 111.5W
45d15.551666667N -111d30
+45.25919444444 111d30'000w
I get the 3 lines of output shown in the man page:
460769.27 5011648.45
460769.27 5011648.45
460769.27 5011648.45
So far, so good. But when I try to use invproj to get back the original inputs the results are not even close to the inputs:
proj +proj=utm +lon_0=112w +ellps=clrk66 -r man.page.lat.lon.txt | invproj +proj=utm +lon_0=112w +ellps=clrk66 -r
gives
73d25'28.89"W 3d18'2.678"N
73d25'28.89"W 3d18'2.678"N
73d25'28.89"W 3d18'2.678"N
What is invproj giving me? How do I run invproj to get back my original inputs?
Apparently invproj doesn't use command line parameters the same way that proj does. Is this documented somewhere? I've read the 3 .pdfs provides as users manuals, but they say nothing about how to use invproj to get back the original inputs.
Thanks.
