Coordinate
File Format
The GEOTRANS coordinate file format is very simple. A GEOTRANS coordinate file contains a file header that specifies the datum and the coordinate reference frame type of the input coordinates, including any associated parameter values. The header is followed by sets of input coordinate values, one set per line, with the individual values separated by commas followed by at least one space.
The header of a GEOTRANS coordinate file consists of two or more lines, each containing a key word or phrase which identifies the purpose of the line, followed by a colon ':', followed by a value. The key words and phrases that can be included in a GEOTRANS coordinate file header are:
- Geodetic
- GEOREF
- Geocentric
- Local Cartesian
- MGRS
- UTM
- UPS
- Albers Equal Area Conic
- Azimuthal Equidistant
- Bonne
- British National Grid
- Cassini
- Cylindrical Equal Area
- Eckert IV
- Eckert VI
- Equidistant Cylindrical
- Gnomonic
- Lambert Conformal Conic
- Mercator
- Miller Cylindrical
- Mollweide
- New Zealand Map Grid
- Ney's (Modified Lambert Conformal Conic)
- Oblique Mercator
- Orthographic
- Polar Stereographic
- Polyconic
- Sinusoidal
- Stereographic
- Transverse Cylindrical Equal Area
- Transverse Mercator
- Van der Grinten
The order of the lines in the header is arbitrary, except that either the "COORDINATES" or "PROJECTION" line, which defines the coordinate reference frame type, must come before any lines specifying parameters. If the same key word or phrase appears more than once, the value associated with the last appearance will be the value used. The header is terminated by a line containing the phrase 'END OF HEADER'.
If any characteristic or required parameter is not specified in the input coordinate file header, a default value is assigned. The default coordinate reference frame type is Geodetic, and the default datum is WGE (WGS 84). For each coordinate reference frame type, the default parameter values used are the same default values that are displayed in the parameter fields in GEOTRANS main window when that coordinate reference frame type is selected.
Following the header, the body of a GEOTRANS coordinate file consists of individual lines, with each line containing a single set of coordinates. Coordinate lines consist of individual coordinate values separated by commas followed by at least one space. Coordinates can take on several different forms, depending on the nature of the coordinate system or map projection being used:
In all cases, the coordinate value formats that may be used in a GEOTRANS coordinate file are exactly the same as the format that may be used when entering coordinates into GEOTRANS interactively.
Additional "headers" can be included in the body of a GEOTRANS coordinate file to change the datum, coordinate system or projection, and/or parameters. The start of each additional header is indicated by the keyword "HEADER" at the start of a line. This is followed by a sequence of lines terminated by a line containing the phrase 'END OF HEADER', exactly as described in the previous section.
Comments can also be included anywhere in a GEOTRANS coordinate file. A comment line is indicated by a '#' as the first character. Blank lines can also be included.
The coordinate files created by GEOTRANS are identical in format to the coordinate files that it reads. Thus, any coordinate file created by GEOTRANS may be subsequently used as an input coordinate file. The header of the output file is generated based on the output datum and coordinate reference frame type selections made in the GEOTRANS File Processing window. The number of lines in the output file header may not be identical to the number of lines in the input file header, especially if the number of parameters is different. Any comment lines in the input file header are not copied to the output file header.
Following the file header, one line in the output file is generated for each line in the input file. For each line in the input file containing coordinates, a line is written to the output file containing the corresponding converted coordinates. Conversion accuracy information, in the form of 90% circular error (CE), linear error (LE), and spherical error (SE) values, in meters, are appended to each output line in the form of a comment. If an error is encountered in converting the coordinates on a particular line, a comment line is written to the output file containing the appropriate error message. If a warning is encountered in converting the coordinates on a particular line, a comment line is written to the output file containing the appropriate warning message. The converted coordinates are then written on the next line. Any comment lines in the body of the input file are copied unchanged to the output file. Any blank lines in the body of the input file are also copied to the output file.
There is no standard naming convention for GEOTRANS coordinate files. Typically, file extensions such as '.TXT', or '.DAT' are used, but this is entirely up to you.

The example above shows a GEOTRANS coordinate input file and its resulting output file. The input file contains Transverse Mercator coordinates defined relative to the WGE datum. The file header defines the projection type, datum and projection parameters, which for Transverse Mercator include the Central Meridian, the Origin Latitude, the Scale Factor, the False Easting, and the False Northing.
