NAME
domtran - Domain/Projection transformation program
SYNOPSIS
domtran [parameters] [transform location]
PARAMETERS
| Command Line | Resource | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| -h | help | No | Lists basic help information. |
| -df=filename | default | .wxpdef | Sets the name of the resource file. |
| -na=name | name | heat | Specifies the name used in resource file parsing. |
| -ba | batch | No | Run program in batch mode |
| -me=level | message | out2 | Specifies level of messages to be displayed
|
| -pd=domain | plot_domain | None Batch: first domain in wxp.reg file. |
This specifies the plotting domain. The projection, aspect ratio and the domain size are specified. |
| -re=region | region | Same as plot domain | This resource is synonymous with the plot_domain. |
| -pa=parameter | parameter | none | Specifies additional parameters |
| transform location |
value | none User prompt |
transform - Specifies the transformation type:
location - Specifies the input location either as lat,lon or X,Y. |
DESCRIPTION
The domtran program is an interface into the WXP domain/projection library. The user specifies a transformation and a location and the program transforms the data to the requested coordinates. The transformation is based on the plot_domain. Regions can also be specified.
domtran -pd=us earth2proj 40,-90
6.755947,-55.022774
The input is the lat,lon coordinate 40,-90. South latitude and west longitude are negative. The output is the X,Y coordinates on the projection plane. In this case the projection plane is a polar stereographic projection centered on 97W longitude.
domtran -pd=us earth2grid 40,-90
14.937368,7.268939
The output here is the location of the points relative to the grid specified by the plot domain. In this case, the grid is a 25x17 grid centered on 39,-97 with a grid spacing of 2.3 (230 km). The upper left hand gridpoint is 0,0 and the lower right gridpoint is 24,16.
