Subject: [Thuban-list] Now it is possible to sponsor Thuban via Paypal
Message-ID: <200606021710.10989.jan-oliver.wagner@intevation.de>

Hello,

I just added a Paypal button to the Thuban website.

So it is easier to sponsor the project if you find
Thuban useful.

Any arbitrary amount is possible, people can add comments
and we eventually want to assemble a list of all sponsors
and name their sponsorship on a web page. (There is a
opt-in for allowing to be named).

Subject: [Thuban-list] projections and conversions
Message-ID: <7F6B9BDC-EEF7-4149-BE5D-EC95A767CCA8@telus.net>

Hello!

Just new to Thuban, looks promising!


I am curious about the projections data base.

What is the file format for producing these projections?

For my area I require NAD83 UTM Zone 9 (northern hemisphere) BC  
Albers Equal projection.

I am also curious about converting my database of shapefile gis maps  
into gml/xml format, is this possible in Thuban?


Thank you!

Mars Sjoden

Not exactly sure what you mean. Thuban uses Proj which in turn
contains the EPSG codes which are converted by a small script into
a XML format for use by Thuban.

If GDAL/OGR can write gml, then in principle it is possible to have
Thuban do this using the GDAL/OGR Extension. But a bit of programming would
be needed.

However, there is also the ogr2ogr command line tool coming withg GDAL/OGR.
This might probably the best option for yoir file format conversion.
