Help for POLYMAP
PURPOSE
POLYMAP is used to convert point or polygon files from
one map projection to another. The file to be
converted must be in the standard VICAR polygonal
format (sequence of points X1,Y1,X2,Y2,... in fullword
floating). Several map projections are supported (see
parameters).
TAE COMMAND LINE FORMAT
POLYMAP INP=A OUT=B PARAMS
where
INP is an input point on polygon file
in the standard VICAR polygonal
format.
OUT is the output file in the standard
IBIS format.
PARAMS is a standard VICAR parameter field.
OPERATION
POLYMAP performs the map transformation indicated by
the keyword to transform an input x,y pair into an
output x,y pair. It is expected that more map
transformations will be added when needed.
