In the case of # overlapping coverage, the program selects the data file with # the smallest grid cell in the region of the conversion. If # the grid cell sizes are the same, the program selects the # file which appears first in this file. Check the Help # file for more options. # # Order the list of files as appropriate for your application. # You can add additional files as they become available. While # the name, and location of the file name is not important, the # extension must be ".gsb" if the file is in the Canadian National # Transformation, Version 2, format. Each line may be a full path name. # The ".\" sequence used here is a relative folder/directory reference, # relative to the folder (directory) in which this file resides. # # During the development required to support local grid files in France, # it was determined that while the national file (which has been supported # for many years) defines a shift from RGF93 to NTF, the local grid files # define a shift from NTF to RGF93. Thus, due to legacy reasons, this # GDC file is named "Rgf93ToNtf.gdc", even though the local grid files # actually define a transformation from NTF to RGF93. Sorry for any # confusion which this may cause. # # Also note, that all data shift files are expected to be in little # endian order, regardless of the platform upon which this product is # running. Bytes will be swapped as is appropriate by the product. # #.\France\cub_r93_l.gsb # example of a possible entry .\France\gr3df97a.txt # # The fallback datum definition is used when none of the above # listed files provides coverage for the point to be converted. # The specification given below (in the distribution data anyway), # says to use the definition NTF-G in this case. This definition # is a Molodensky based definition. Of course, you can change this # to whatever datum definition you prefer. It must be a definition # which exists in the Datum Dictionary, which does not rely on a # specific grid shift data file. # # Definitions in the Datum Dictionary are required to define the # transformation appropriate for transformation datum coordinates # to WGS84. Therefore, the datum definition listed as a fallback # must be a definition that converts NTF to RGF93/WGS84. This is # true even though this GDC file is named 'Rgf93ToNtf.gdc' for the # reasons described above. Fallback=NTF-G
