<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Quick first question from a newcomer exploring the
capabilities of Proj.4 before attempting to compile the code.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've read the documentation plus recent threads on
this list serve that discuss datum shifts (of the 7-parameter variety), which,
apparently, Proj.4 does not support. My question is whether
Proj.4 supports Earth-Centered Earth-Fixed (ECEF) geocentric Cartesian
coordinates or not (i.e, lat/lon/hgt => ECEF X/Y/Z). Seems it would be
simple to build that functionality into the Proj.4 code, but I gather that the
documentation's references to "cartesian coordinates" means Eastings/Northings
in projected space, and not ECEF. Non-support for geocentric datum
shifting seems to support this tentative conclusion. Can someone
confirm for me?</FONT></DIV>
