Module Control Panel

The control panel for project_field is shown in the figure above.

Each coordinate system is divided into either Geographic or Projected coordinate systems. The coordinate system types are navigated by selecting the appropriate system type in the far left window. When a general coordinate system has been selected a specific coordinate system can be selected from the center window. If there are any details regarding the selected specific coordinate system, they will appear in the text window on the right. A specific coordinate system must be selected both to project from and to project to as in the picture below.

When both have been selected the Accept Current Values button must be pressed for the projection to occur.

The Display File Tags toggle is used to bring up the panel below.

This block can be copied and pasted into a file, along with the REPROJECT flag, so that the file is projected when read. The Coordinate Units text type in is used to set the UNITS flag in the projection block. Please see the help on Projecting File Coordinates for more details on how to incorporate this block in your files and for additional file flags.
