Barend, my only intention was to make sure that people did know about GDAL. I am often surprised that many people are not aware of it, particularly people working outside of the so-called GIS field. My assumption is that the Boost.Geometry classes serve a larger community working in spatial data that is not necessarily grounded on gis principals.

Regards, mark

Hi Mark,

While it's fair to be concerned about interdependence between projects there is the well supported Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) and specifically the OGRSpatialReference class -- http://www.gdal.org/classOGRSpatialReference.html

These are well established projects widely used within the Open Source Geospatial developer community, written in C++ (and some C).

I think everybody knows these libraries.

What do you exactly intend by sending this message?

Regards, Barend

p.s. this list discourages top-postings.
