I've been working with map projections and datum transformations for years, including in ArcView GIS, ArcInfo 7 and up, MapObjects, and ArcGIS.

comment Tile script (Mapnik) with OpenLayers - Problem with projection (900913)
Now that Mintx has pointed the coordinate value problem out (I can see it now!), the 2*20million value in def _unitsPerPixel(zoomLevel) also has one too many zeroes.

Yes, that's correct.

comment Reprojection problem with gdalwarp
I haven't worked with tilted perspective so I don't have a good mathematical feel for it. Based on Snyder's version though, I would try moving the center point in or near the raster's extents.

comment Calculating points in the USDA's Cropland Data Layer coordinate system
@whuber Bill, you referred to spatialreference.org which <> EPSG. SR's IDs aren't EPSG's or Esri's. The EPSG entry is probably 5070, NAD83 / Conus Albers. Link to a report: epsg-registry.org/…

comment define a datum and meridian in a CRS in QGIS
For this case, look at the 2D geographic CRS. For East Africa, probably Arc 1950 or Arc 1960. Neither use Clarke 1866!

comment define a datum and meridian in a CRS in QGIS
@XNSTT, that should be the default. Only if the prime meridian was not zero, would you need to set it.

comment define a datum and meridian in a CRS in QGIS
Esri does incorporate datum (and geographic CRS) information into shapefile prj definitions IF it's provided. I think you mean we handle geographic/datum transformations separately. A "datum" does not inherently include a particular transformation.
