It allows transformation of geographic coordinates from one projection andor datum to another. As the name suggests, the universal transverse mercator projection is based on the cylindrical transverse mercator projection. For example, a location of 140, 12 is not meaningful if you do know where the origin is and if the xcoordinate is 140 meters, kilometers, or perhaps degrees away from it in the x direction. Positions are described using easting and northing coordinates. The library also ships with executables for performing these transformations from the. Learn more abnormal output when using proj4 to transform latlong to utm. Projections support qgis documentation documentation.
The library is based on the work of gerald evenden at the usgs, but is now an osgeo project maintained by howard butler. This library has almost all projection types and it is very usefull to convert coordinates for a series of points.
