Short Description of Functionality

This program transforms coordinates between different coordinate systems. Currently implemented coordinate systems are:

• Gauß-Krüger (stripe 2 to 5)
• geographic coordinates
• Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)

Currently implemented geodetic Helmert transformations:

• European Terrestrial Reference System 1989 (ETRS89)
• World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84)
• European Datum 1950 (ED50)
• Federal Intstitute for cartography und geodesy, standard parameter
• Federal Intstitute for cartography und geodesy, Breiten >52,3 Grad N
• BAW C. Maushake,
• Krassovsky standard (Wikipedia)
• Krassovsky (WSA Stralsund)

Input-Files

1. triangulated mesh (file type or TICAD, gitter05.dat/gitter05.bin)
2. triangulated UnTRIM-VC mesh (file type untrim_grid.dat) or
3. file with soundings (file type geom.dat) or
4. position description (file type geopos.dat) or
5. digitized polylines (file type insel.dat) or
6. digitized polylines (file type digi.gkk) or
7. polygon file (file type poly.dat) or
8. time series at single station (file type boewrt.dat) or
9. polygone file to protect edges of a grid (file type nodes.save) oder
10. plot frames (file type [FRAMES.DAT

Output-Files

1. triangulated mesh (file type TICAD, gitter05.dat/gitter05.bin) or
2. triangulated UnTRIM-VC mesh (file type untrim_grid.dat) or
3. file with soundings (file type geom.dat) or
4. position description (file type geopos.dat) or
5. digitized polylines (file type insel.dat) or
6. digitized polylines (file type digi.gkk) or
7. polygon file (Dateityp poly.dat) or
8. time series at single station (file type boewrt.dat) or
9. polygone file to protect edges of a grid (file type nodes.save) oder
10. plot frames (file type frames.dat, center and size, or
11. description of boundary cells (file type rgz.dat).

Methodology

• Input and output list are opened at the same time. Every coordinate point will be read, transformed and written on the output list immediately. So the size of the input file is unlimited.
• The formatting of decimal coordinates depends on the actual projection of coordinates (geographic or map coordinates)
