Summary

raster::wkt::custom read a WKT1 projection's angular parameters as degrees. In WKT1 they are in the GEOGCS's angle unit, so NTF (Paris) / Lambert zone II, whose GEOGCS is in grads, had its latitude of origin of 52 grads (46.8°) read as 52°. Without its AUTHORITY (any Esri .prj), the issue's point landed 578 km north, with only the datum notice.

A WKT1 PROJCS now has its angular parameters converted from the GEOGCS unit to degrees as it is read (projected1, in wkt1), the way projected2 already gives a WKT2 system's. Everything after it (custom, polar, is_utm_zone, the projection notes) then sees degrees whichever form the system came in. The prime meridian is converted the same way, as WKT1 defines it and PROJ reads it, except the Paris meridian at 2.33722917: GDAL and Esri write that one in degrees beside UNIT["grad",…], and PROJ keeps it as degrees too. (Before, RustGIS read every prime meridian as degrees, which placed a WKT1 file giving Paris in grads, PRIMEM["Paris",2.5969213], about 20 km off.) Which parameters are angles is told by their names (latitude, longitude, meridian, parallel, azimuth, angle, rotation), so false eastings and northings and scale factors stay as written. convert returns a value unchanged when the units agree, so a system in degrees (nearly all of them) is read exactly as before.

The data guide's list of what a .prj or other WKT says now has the angle unit.

Testing

  • raster::wkt::tests::wkt1_angles_are_in_the_geographic_systems_unit: EPSG:27572 as PROJ 9.8.1 writes it in WKT1 (GDAL's) and Esri WKT, without its code, and in WKT2, each places the issue's point (549 826.63 m, 2 192 990.71 m) within a centimetre of PROJ 9.8.1's position for it on NTF (1.680720205°E, 46.735054487°N, EPSG:4275). With projected1 turned off, the WKT1 form is 578 205 m off, at 1.6077°E 51.9347°N, which is where PROJ puts the point with the parameters taken as degrees. The prime meridian, against PROJ 9.8.1 reading the same texts: the WKT1 form with PRIMEM["Paris",2.5969213] lands at the same place (19 791 m off without the prime meridian's conversion), and with the meridian renamed (PRIMEM["Another",2.33722917], so read in grads, as PROJ reads it) at 1.446997288°E. A central meridian of 10 grads places the point 9° east, at 10.680720205°E as PROJ does (76 210 m off with meridians left out of the conversion). The same system in degrees keeps +lat_0=52, +k_0=0.99987742 and +x_0=600000.
  • raster::wkt::tests::wkt1_krovak_in_grads_is_read_as_in_degrees: EPSG:5514's Esri WKT from the corpus, with every angle in grads, places the corpus point within a millimetre as the degrees row does (PROJ places the two texts identically), and a rotation of 101 grads is still refused. The conversion leaves Krovak's 100-grad plane rotation at 90.00000000000003°, so its check now allows 1e-10°, as the pseudo standard parallel's does; before that the grads text was refused.
  • The reference positions and WKT texts came from pyproj 3.8.0 (PROJ 9.8.1). PROJ reads the WKT1 and Esri texts it wrote back to the same position, so it too takes their parameters in grads; on the prime meridian it reads PRIMEM["Paris",2.33722917] and PRIMEM["Paris",2.5969213] beside grads both as 2.5969213 grads, and any other name's value in grads. GDAL itself wasn't run.
  • On Windows 11 x64, based on 32ea10d: cargo fmt --all --check, cargo clippy -p rustgis-data --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test -p rustgis-data (903 passed, 0 failed, 11 ignored, among them the other 40 raster::wkt tests), the engine's coordinate-system tests (define_projection, geojson_crs, planetary_export, portable_projects: 63 passed) and cargo check --locked --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -p rustgis-web all pass.
  • After the review (6240ae8): angular leaves out a name containing SCALE. The grads test asserts that Scale_Factor_On_Pseudo_Standard_Parallel isn't an angle and Pseudo_Standard_Parallel_1 is; without the guard, the first assertion fails, and with it all 42 raster::wkt tests pass. projected1's doc comment now says why the Paris meridian at 2.33722917 beside grads is read in degrees without a notice. cargo fmt --all --check, cargo clippy -p rustgis-data --all-targets -- -D warnings and cargo test -p rustgis-data (853 lib tests passed, 11 ignored, plus the integration tests) pass.
  • Not run: the whole of cargo xtask ci, GDAL itself, and Linux or macOS.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Corrected conversion of WKT1 and Esri projection angles and prime meridians to degrees when the geographic coordinate system uses non-degree units. Other projection parameters remain unchanged, and degree-based values are preserved. Paris prime meridian values written as 2.33722917 continue to be interpreted as degrees.
    • Improved handling of Krovak projection angles expressed in grads and accepted small rounding differences in the fixed rotation value.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified how WKT1 and Esri projection angles and prime meridians are interpreted, including the Paris meridian exception.

…em's unit (opengeos#1692)

WKT1 gives a projection's angular parameters in its GEOGCS's angle unit,
but they were read as degrees: NTF (Paris) / Lambert zone II, in grads,
placed points 578 km north when read without its code. A WKT1 PROJCS now
has them converted to degrees as it is read, as a WKT2 system's already
are; the prime meridian stays in degrees, as GDAL and Esri write it. A
system in degrees is read exactly as before.

Walkthrough

WKT1 projected angular parameters and prime meridians are converted from the geographic system’s unit to degrees. The parser preserves a Paris prime meridian value of 2.33722917 as degrees. Tests and user documentation cover these unit rules.

Changes: WKT1 Angular Parameter Conversion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Normalize WKT1 projection parameters
crates/data/src/raster/wkt.rs
WKT1 PROJCS nodes now pass through conversion logic for eligible angular parameters and the prime meridian. Conversion uses the geographic system’s unit and preserves the specified Paris prime meridian value. The Krovak rotation check accepts values within a tolerance of 90 degrees.
Verify conversion and document units
crates/data/src/raster/wkt.rs, docs/user-guide/data.md
Tests compare grad-based GDAL and Esri WKT1 with WKT2, and cover Paris prime meridian handling, degree-based values, and Krovak rotations. The guide describes the WKT1 angular-unit rules.

The description includes the required Summary, Testing, UI evidence, and Related issue sections. It explains the change, reports tests and limitations, states that there is no visible UI change, and links issue #1692.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #1692 requires WKT1 angular projection parameters to use the geographic system’s unit, tests for authority-free GDAL and Esri EPSG:27572 forms, and a degree-based regression test. projected1 converts the angular parameters to degrees. The reported tests compare both WKT1 forms with PROJ’s expected position and confirm degree-based parameters remain unchanged. The Krovak test also checks grad-based angles and rejects an altered rotation.

Explanation

The incremental diff adds support for Transverse Mercator (South Orientated), EPSG method 9808. It adds method recognition, scale-factor aliases, axis and offset handling, and tests that identify the work as #1693. This projection-method support does not implement or verify issue #1692’s WKT1 angle-unit fix.

Handle recognized degree-valued prime meridians beyond Paris.

For a grad-based projected WKT with PRIMEM["Ferro",-17.6666666666667], PROJ reads the meridian in degrees. projected1 converts it to about −15.9°, which earth() passes as +pm. This can shift transformed positions.

Match PROJ’s handling of recognized non-Paris meridians while continuing to convert other values from the GEOGCS unit.

Low confidence, latent: angular matches by substring, so any parameter whose normalized name contains PARALLEL, ANGLE or ROTATION counts as an angle, including scale factors. EPSG's name for Krovak's scale is "Scale factor on pseudo standard parallel", and Scale_Factor_On_Pseudo_Standard_Parallel would be multiplied by the grad factor (×0.9) here. Nothing reads that name today (parameter matches exactly), so there is no current wrong output, but the doc comment says scale factors aren't converted and this code doesn't guarantee it. A guard for the name keeps the rule true:

Applied in 6240ae8: angular now leaves out a name containing SCALE, so Scale_Factor_On_Pseudo_Standard_Parallel stays a scale, as the doc comment says. The grads test asserts that, and that Pseudo_Standard_Parallel_1 is still an angle. Without the guard, the first assertion fails.

Question on the Paris exception (Never silent): for a PROJCS whose GEOGCS is in grads, a PRIMEM["Paris",2.33722917] is read as degrees with no note. The PR text says PROJ does the same, and GDAL and Esri write that value on every NTF file, so a notice on each one would be noise. But this is a reader choosing a unit for a value that the WKT1 spec would put in grads, and an ambiguous file (a writer that really means grads) would be placed about 20 km off with nothing said. Could a note be added to the system's note when this branch fires with a non-degree unit? If you judge it not worth a note, it would help to say so in the doc comment, since the current text states the rule without the trade-off.

I'd keep it without a notice, and I've said why in the doc comment (6240ae8). The branch fires only when the meridian is named Paris and its value is 2.33722917. Read in grads, that value is 2.1035°E, which isn't Paris; Paris in grads is 2.5969213. So the name and the value agree only when read in degrees, and a file that meant grads would contradict its own name.

There's no ambiguous reading left to choose between: a Paris meridian given as 2.5969213 grads is converted as before, and so is any other meridian. GDAL and Esri write 2.33722917 beside grads on every NTF file, so a notice would fire on all of them while saying nothing the user can act on. PROJ 9.8.1 reads it the same way.

Code review

Bugs: No correctness bugs found. I traced the conversion order: wkt1 runs projected1 once per WKT1 PROJCS, before projected, custom, is_utm_zone and the +pm output read the values. convert is a no-op for degree systems, and projected1 has no panic paths. The new Krovak tolerance is correct: 100 grads gives 90.00000000000003°, and 101 grads is still refused.

Security: None found.

Performance: None found. The conversion touches a few nodes per projected system.

Quality:

  • angular() at wkt.rs:516 matches by substring, so a scale-factor parameter whose name contains PARALLEL would be converted. Nothing reads that name today. Low confidence. (Inline comment posted.)
  • Paris exception at wkt.rs:495: the degrees assumption is silent, which sits against the "Never silent" rule. Low confidence. (Inline comment posted.)

AGENTS.md: Non-test code has no unwrap/expect/panic, and the change adds no unsafe. The docs update matches the code. The earlier prior-review threads (Krovak tolerance, central-meridian test, prime-meridian docs) are addressed in the head commit, so I did not re-raise them.

Minor nits (for the release quality pass):

  • The module doc at wkt.rs:9-11 has a comma splice ("…is read directly, a projection's angular parameters folded…").
  • Node::num_mut (wkt.rs:114) duplicates num but skips the is_finite filter. Harmless here, but worth aligning.
  • The Krovak test's assert_eq!(grads.matches("Grad").count() + grads.matches("100.0]").count(), 2) is indirect. Asserting each replacement by name would be clearer.
  • Hostile input: a UNIT factor near 1e308 overflows to infinity, num() then drops the parameter, and custom() silently defaults the origin to 0. Not a crash, and the WKT2 path already behaves this way.

Not verified: GDAL itself was not run, as the PR says. The claim that GDAL and Esri write WKT1 angular parameters in the GEOGCS unit rests on PROJ 9.8.1's output in pyproj. Standalone grads GEOGCS is still refused (wkt.rs:933), so grads systems are now accepted only as projections. That is consistent with the PR's scope, but worth knowing.

Prior concerns left alone: 3 earlier threads, all resolved. I re-raised none of them.

angular() matched by substring, so a scale factor whose name has a
parallel in it (EPSG's "Scale factor on pseudo standard parallel",
Krovak's) would have been converted from grads. A name with SCALE in
it is no angle now. The doc comment of projected1 also says why the
Paris meridian at 2.33722917 beside grads is read in degrees without a
notice: in grads that value isn't Paris.

Thanks for the review. Both inline points are answered: the SCALE guard is applied with a test, and the Paris trade-off is in the doc comment (6240ae8).

Left for the release quality pass:

  • the comma splice in the module doc;
  • Node::num_mut skipping num's is_finite filter;
  • the indirect count assertion in the Krovak test.

On the hostile UNIT factor near 1e308: a factor that large isn't a unit, and an infinite value is dropped, as the WKT2 path and an infinite WKT1 parameter already are. I've left it with the others rather than change how parameters are read in this PR.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Read Krovak’s named scale factor when building k0.

If a grad-based Krovak WKT1 definition uses Scale_Factor_On_Pseudo_Standard_Parallel, the new conversion preserves its value, but custom defaults k0 to 1.0. This can produce incorrect coordinates. The lookup gap predates this PR, but the new conversion exposes it for grad-based definitions.

Accept the longer name alongside SCALE_FACTOR for Krovak, and add a position test using it.

Update the Krovak `custom` scale-factor lookup that sets `k0` to accept
`Scale_Factor_On_Pseudo_Standard_Parallel` alongside `SCALE_FACTOR`, preserving
the existing default when neither name is present. Add a position test for a
grad-based Krovak WKT1 definition using the longer name to verify its scale

Low confidence, Never silent: factor accepts any positive number as the GEOGCS's UNIT, and this function doesn't check that the unit is an angle. A malformed file with e.g. UNIT["metre",1] inside its GEOGCS would have every angular parameter scaled by about 57× with no notice. geographic() refuses non-degree GEOGCS units, so the top-level path already has a check that this branch lacks.

A possible fix is to refuse the system when the unit's factor isn't a plausible angle unit (for example, by requiring UNIT to be f within (0, 2π] radians) and returning Err from projected1, or from read_system. I haven't verified that a real file reaches this branch with a non-angle unit, so treat it as a question rather than a confirmed bug.

Separately, convert can overflow to a non-finite value for an extreme factor. Node::num then drops that value, and custom() falls back to 0 for the latitude of origin with no notice. That needs absurd input, so I'm not raising it as a finding.

Code review

Bugs

  • No confirmed bugs. The WKT1 path is converted once per read: wkt1 calls projected1 on raw PROJCS input only, and projected2's output is not passed back through wkt1, so there is no double conversion. convert is a no-op for degree units (the 1e-12 relative tolerance covers the rounding), and geographic() still refuses a top-level GEOGCS in non-degree units.
  • Low confidence (posted inline, wkt.rs:497): factor accepts any positive GEOGCS UNIT, so a malformed non-angle unit scales angles silently. I haven't verified that a real file reaches this.

Security

  • None found. The change adds no I/O, unsafe code, or panicking paths in non-test code.

Performance

  • None. The change is a single pass over the parameters of one PROJCS.

Quality

  • Nothing worth raising beyond the low-confidence item above. The doc comments match the code, and the tests cover the converted, Paris, Esri, WKT2, and degree cases. The Krovak check now uses a tolerance, which is justified by the test.

AGENTS.md

  • No violations found. The docs update is in docs/user-guide/data.md, and the Paris behaviour is described there. The fixture esri_datum_corpus.tsv exists. The line length is under the repo's max_width of 140.

Prior threads

  • I left all 6 earlier threads alone. Five are resolved or addressed by commits the author cites (the scale guard, the Krovak tolerance, the central-meridian test, and the docs). The Paris-notice thread is answered by the author with a reasoned argument, and I have no new evidence against it.

Not verified

  • I could not run the tests or clippy: this session has no build tool. The test results above come from the PR description, not from my own run.
