Hi list, I was wondering why GDALGetProjectionRef delivers an other result than gdalinfo from FWTools of course by using the same file.
Here is my code from my qgis plugin: if( GDALGetProjectionRef( inputDS ) != NULL ) { OGRSpatialReferenceH inputSRS; char *pszProjection; pszProjection = (char *) GDALGetProjectionRef( inputDS ); inputSRS = OSRNewSpatialReference(NULL); if( OSRImportFromWkt( inputSRS, &pszProjection ) == CE_None ) { char *prettyWkt = NULL; OSRExportToPrettyWkt( inputSRS, &prettyWkt, FALSE ); QString wktFormat = prettyWkt; wktFormat.replace(QString("\n"), QString("<br>")); information += "<tr><td>"; information += tr( "<b>Coordinate System:</b><br>" ); information += wktFormat; information += "</td></tr>"; CPLFree( prettyWkt ); } else { information += "<tr><td>"; information += tr( "<b>Coordinate System11:</b><br> %1" ) .arg( GDALGetProjectionRef( inputDS ) ); information += "</td></tr>"; } OSRDestroySpatialReference( inputSRS ); } and the same part from gdalinfo: if( GDALGetProjectionRef( hDataset ) != NULL ) { OGRSpatialReferenceH hSRS; char *pszProjection; pszProjection = (char *) GDALGetProjectionRef( hDataset ); hSRS = OSRNewSpatialReference(NULL); if( OSRImportFromWkt( hSRS, &pszProjection ) == CE_None ) { char *pszPrettyWkt = NULL; OSRExportToPrettyWkt( hSRS, &pszPrettyWkt, FALSE ); printf( "Coordinate System is:\n%s\n", pszPrettyWkt ); CPLFree( pszPrettyWkt ); } else printf( "Coordinate System is `%s'\n", GDALGetProjectionRef( hDataset ) ); OSRDestroySpatialReference( hSRS ); } gdalinfo delivers the right projection: PROJCS["unnamed", GEOGCS["DHDN", DATUM["Deutsches_Hauptdreiecksnetz", SPHEROID["Bessel 1841",6377397.155,299.1528128000009, AUTHORITY["EPSG","7004"]], AUTHORITY["EPSG","6314"]], [...] GDALGetProjectionRef delivers the following WKT string (some of you know this from some earlier mails): PROJCS["unnamed", GEOGCS["DHDN", DATUM["unknown", SPHEROID["unretrievable - using WGS84",6378137,298.257223563]], PRIMEM["Greenwich",0], UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433], AUTHORITY["EPSG","4314"]], [...] In the earlier mails I thought that the warp doesn't work correct, but apparently the warp is correct, because I use the same file for gdalinfo and in my plugin. So the problem must be GDALGetProjectionRef!? Can anyone help me with that?
