-x
 
Display transform matrix coefficients
--verbose
 
Verbose module output
--quiet
 
Quiet module output

Parameters:

format=string[,string,...]
 
Output format
 
Options: idx,src,dst,fwd,rev,fxy,rxy,fd,rd
 
Default: fd,rd
 
idx: point index
 
src: source coordinates
 
dst: destination coordinates
 
fwd: forward coordinates (destination)
 
rev: reverse coordinates (source)
 
fxy: forward coordinates difference (destination)
 
rxy: reverse coordinates difference (source)
 
fd: forward error (destination)
 
rd: reverse error (source)
coords=name
 
File containing coordinates to transform ("-" to read from stdin)
 
Local x,y coordinates to target east,north

DESCRIPTION

g.transform is an utility to compute transformation based upon GCPs and output error measurements.

NOTES

For coordinates given with the coords file option or fed from stdin, the input format is "x y" with one coordinate pair per line.
The transformations are:
order=1:
 

e = [E0 E1][1].[1]
 

[E2 0][e] [n]
 
 

n = [N0 N1][1].[1]
 

[N2 0][e] [n]
 
order=2:
 
 

e = [E0 E1 E3][1 ] [1 ]
 

[E2 E4 0][e ].[n ]
 

[E5 0 0][e²] [n²]
 
 

n = [N0 N1 N3][1 ] [1 ]
 

[N2 N4 0][e ].[n ]
 

[N5 0 0][e²] [n²]
 
order=3:
 
 

e = [E0 E1 E3 E6][1 ] [1 ]
 

[E2 E4 E7 0][e ].[n ]
 

[E5 E8 0 0][e²] [n²]
 

[E9 0 0 0][e³] [n³]
 
 

n = [N0 N1 N3 N6][1 ] [1 ]
 

[N2 N4 N7 0][e ].[n ]
 

[N5 N8 0 0][e²] [n²]
 

[N9 0 0 0][e³] [n³]
 
["." = dot-product, (AE).N = N'EA.]
In other words, order=1 and order=2 are equivalent to order=3 with the higher coefficients equal to zero.
