Good day!
I am trying to set the Projection Definition for a GDALDataset as follows
(from the GDALWarp API):
const char *pszDstWKT = NULL;
OGRSpatialReference oSRS;
oSRS.SetUTM( 11, TRUE );
oSRS.SetWellKnownGeogCS( "WGS84" );
oSRS.exportToWkt( &pszDstWKT );
if(GDALSetProjection(srcDataset, pszDstWKT) == CE_Failure)
{ //handle failure
{else
{
const char *defString = srcDataset->GetProjectionRef();
cout<<Length: <<strlen(defString)<<endl;
cout<<Projection: <<defString<<endl;
};
Firstly, I get a compiler error with the oSRS.exportToWKT statement:
invalid conversion from const char** to char**.
à So I changed the const char* to char*, which bypassed that little error.
à As this was used exactly as the GDALWarp API Tutorial describes, why does
this happen?
Secondly, After the GDALSetProjection(
) call succeeds, the projection
information is supposed to be printed out to standard out, along with the
length of the definition string.
However, the output is as follows:
$ Length: 0
$ Projection:
Why is the projection string still empty?
I know that the pszDstWKT contains the projection information as set up,
since when printed out to screen its displayed correctly.
Thank you in advance!!
Warm Regards
