read CSV from GDAL data directory

Reported by: martinl Owned by: grass-dev@…

Description (last modified by martinl)

Currently GRASS contains copy of several CSV files from GDAL source:grass/trunk/lib/proj. It would make sense to modify GRASS libraries to read these files dynamically.

Any comments?

Summary: read cvs from GDAL data directory → read CSV from GDAL data directory

Component: Default → Projections/Datums
Priority: normal → critical

Yes, this would be very important.

The local GDAL data directory is found like this: 

ls `gdal-config --datadir`

Effectively it shows the path to "GDAL_DATA", see

The patch was too complicated. Actually, you do not need to force GRASS to use CSV files from GDAL, instead GRASS should not override the default CSV file location with SetCSVFilenameHook(). Simply disabling calls to this function lets GDAL via GRASS use its own CSV files. Done in trunk r68128.

This does not solve all problems because GRASS uses its own mechanisms for SRS names, datum transformations etc which might fail to find any parameters.

CSV fix backported in r68267.

TODO before closing this report: remove the outdated .csv files etc from lib/proj/

Still some GEOGCS lookup fails, also in trunk. Maybe ​https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/lib/proj/convert.c#L395 (GEOCGS check) is still incomplete? Example: 

# compare

Are you planning to do it before 7.0.4 or after this release?

comment:24 by martinl, 9 years ago

Is this issue still blocker for 7.0.4 release?

comment:25 by neteler, 9 years ago

Priority: blocker → critical

CSV files removed in trunk in r68341. We can delete them in relbranch70 after the 7.0.4 release.

Ideally, after understanding what to do with the *.lla files, nzgd2kgrid0005.gsb, and ntv1_can.dat which appear to be more recent in the "proj-nad" package itself (in a more recent table format). Ideas?

Replying to neteler:

CSV files removed in trunk in r68341. We can delete them in relbranch70 after the 7.0.4 release.

Done in r68381.

Ideally, after understanding what to do with the *.lla files, nzgd2kgrid0005.gsb, and ntv1_can.dat which appear to be more recent in the "proj-nad" package itself (in a more recent table format). Ideas?

... still a TODO!

Comment by Paul Kelly via email:

There would be some changes needed to lib/proj/get_proj.c - the call to pj_set_finder() should be removed so that PROJ looks in its default locations for the files. Also changes needed to lib/proj/Makefile so it no longer creates the /etc/proj and /etc/proj/nad directories within a GRASS installation nor installs the files there.

comment:29 by msieczka, 8 years ago

Regarding grass/trunk/lib/proj in r68435 - another option might be not to search for the grids in any particular directory, but to rely on a user-provided full path to the grid file in the PROJ_INFO.

cs2cs, gdalwarp etc. allow the "nadgrids" to be a full path to a grid file.

What is exactly needed to close this ticket regarding 7.0.5 milestone?

We need to understand if the included NAD files are the same as in PROJ.4 and if it can remain like this for 7.0.x?

For trunk, Paul's suggestion should be implemented.

comment:32 by neteler, 8 years ago

added ntf_r93.gsb and null.lla unless this ticket is solved in r68654, see also #1219

comment:33 by neteler, 8 years ago

After discussion with Even Rouault at the FOSS4G 2016 code sprint and some testing with m.proj

  • removal of local copies of NAD and datum shift files which are indeed used from GDAL
  • extended documentation in lib/proj/README.txt

Done in r69211.

After extensive testing backport candidate. Test values available in ​https://github.com/OSGeo/proj.4/tree/master/nad . Test cases should be implemented with m.proj.

I suggest to change milestone from 7.0.5 to 7.3.0. I don't feel that there is something what we can do for 7.0.5 release.

comment:35 by martinl, 8 years ago

Milestone: 7.0.5 → 7.3.0

comment:36 by martinl, 8 years ago

Milestone: 7.3.0 → 7.4.0

Milestone renamed

Issues: the location manager needs to be updated accordingly (at time it still seeks for NAD files in the removed etc/proj/nad/ directory): 

cd gui/wxpython/location_wizard/
wizard.py:                # prepare +nadgrids or +towgs84 terms for Summary page. first
wizard.py:                            "towgs84=") != -1 or projterm.find("nadgrids=") != -1:
wizard.py:                # prepare +nadgrids or +towgs84 terms for Summary page. first
wizard.py:                            "towgs84=") != -1 or projterm.find("nadgrids=") != -1:

Furthermore the g.proj code needs updates. Or in lib/proj/?

For some tests, see ​https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2016-September/075035.html

I wonder if we should revert r69211 for now (except for the README update).

what is exact problem? I tried in G72 and G73 

g.proj -t epsg=2992 datumtrans=-1

Both version gives me the same output: 

---
1
Used in whole nad83 region
towgs84=0.000,0.000,0.000
Default 3-Parameter Transformation (May not be optimum for older datums; use this only if no more appropriate options are available.)
---
2
Used in Florida
nadgrids=FL
Transforms 'Old NAD83' to 'HPGN NAD83'
---
3
Used in Maryland
nadgrids=MD
Transforms 'Old NAD83' to 'HPGN NAD83'
---
4
Used in Tennessee
nadgrids=TN
Transforms 'Old NAD83' to 'HPGN NAD83'
---
5
Used in Wisconsin
nadgrids=WI
Transforms 'Old NAD83' to 'HPGN NAD83'
---
6
Used in Washington - Oregon
nadgrids=WO
Transforms 'Old NAD83' to 'HPGN NAD83'

BTW, instead of 

grass72 -c epsg:2992 ~/grassdata/oregon2992_nad83_WO --exec g.proj -t
epsg=2992 datumtrans=6 -p

you can do 

grass72 -c epsg:2992:6 ~/grassdata/oregon2992_nad83_WO --exec g.proj -p

The same approach works also in G73.

The issue with g.proj is related to -j flag: 

g.proj -jft epsg=2992 datumtrans=6

... +nadgrids=/opt/src/grass_trunk/dist.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/etc/proj/nad/WO +to_meter=0.3048

In 69494:

Fix GPJget_datum_params() to respect r69211 (see #2456)

Solved both in relbranch72 and trunk, closing.
