gvSIG-Desktop 1.12. Manual de usuario

The jCRS extension intends to bring rigorous CRS handling capacity to gvSIG, as well as the incorporation of the standard CRS operations and repositories like, in this version: EPSG, ESRI, IAU2000 and user-defined CRS.

These added functions provide a solution to the ED50-ETRS89 transition problem, and in accordance with the implementation of the Royal Decree 1071/2007, two solutions are integrated that were achieved by the National Geographic Institute (IGN):

• Through the EPSG, the different official IGN achievements are incorporated following the seven-parameter transformation model.
• Through Proj4, the official IGN grid based transformations with grid files in NTv2 format are incorporated.

Further in this document, the user interface for this extension will be described, using the most common cases.

In the description of these cases, there might be an overlap in CRS selection methods and dialogs. To avoid repetitions, it was considered convenient to explain a dialog in detail the first time that it appears in the manual, and therefore users are advised to read the sections in the correct order.
