SYNOPSIS
m.setproj
m.setproj help
m.setproj [set=name] proj=name
DESCRIPTION
allows a user to create a new PROJ_INFO file in the specified mapset.
The file is used to record the projection information associated with
the specified mapset.
Note:
-
- The "set" mapset must exist and must not contain a PROJ_INFO or
PROJ_UNITS file.
The specification of any projection other than ll and xxx will generate
a request to the user for a name of a standard ellipse.
The projections of aea, lcc, merc, and tmerc will generate a request
to the user for the prime meridian and standard parallel for the output
map.
The projection of stp will generate a request to the user for the state
abbreviation and choice of zone for the output map.
The projection of xxx will request mapgen proj parameters. See the
mapgen proj documentation for the uses of this software.
