[OpendTect_Users] State Planes

[Paul de Groot]

Hello Tom,

Geographic referencing in OpendTect is done in X,Y (=Cartesian)
co-ordinates. OpendTect does not know which projection system was used to
create the X,Y co-ordinates. The State Plane Projections System is a set of
124 geographic zones used in the USA, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Plane_Coordinate_System). The SPS
projections generate Cartesian co-ordinates, so the answer to your question
is yes: OpendTect does work work with State Plane Projections.

However, OpendTect does not support any projection systems itself. If you
don't have X,Y co-ordinates for your data you will have to do the
projection to State Plane co-ordinates with other software.

Best regards,

Paul.
