coordinatesystem-strings - parameter in prj-files

[MarkoEinspieler1]

Dear all,

I'm using pyhton to read out prj-files. In some strings I found after the paramter [UNIT] some values and I do not really know for what they are needed? Here is a string expamle:

Have anyone an idea? Are these some kind of transformation parameters?

Thank you and with best regards,

Marko

If I recollect it correctly then those are XY domain, Tolerance, Precision related values. They are not used for transformation

Sachin Kanaujia‌ is correct. They are used in geoprocessing to fully store or create a spatial reference, but a regular 'prj' or coordinate system string doesn't include these values. They are, in order:

minimum x value

minimum y value

xy precision (1/precision = xy resolution)

minimum z value

z precision

minimum measure value

m precision

xy tolerance

z tolerance

measure tolerance

IsHighPrecision: marker that the spatial reference is high precision, rather than the older standard precision.
