Bruce,

Can you provide some supporting detail on why these alternate projection names are valid? Are they "autodesk wkt"? If so, perhaps we need a morphFromADSK() and morphToADSK() methods as we do for ESRI. Alternatively we could have OGRSpatialReference::Fixup() method try to cleanup these non-standard names and set them to the standard values.

What I don't want to do is have all parts of the code have to understand many variations on the projection names.

I'm setting this as a 1.4.2 milestone since I don't think we can address it for 1.4.1. If the changes are quite broad we may need to limit the changes to 1.5.0.

  • Ticket #1553 – Description

    initial v5  
    11The following alternative and abbreviated projection names are missing:
    2 
     2{{{
    331)  AE - Abbreviation for Albers_Conic_Equal_Area
    442)  Cassini-Soldner - Alternative spelling
    … …  
    171715) TM - Abbreviations for Transverse_Mercator
    181816) UTM - Abbreviation for Transverse Mercator
    19 
     19}}}
    2020Some of the above names are needed because the EQUAL() macro only does a simple case insensitive comparison. It should also ignore white space, "-", "_", and "," so that more matches can be found.
