Modified: September 16, 2016 KB10813 - .prj file and naming convention. The .prj file, which was originally designed to hold the coordinate system information (i.e., projection) for a Shapefile ( .shp format vector map file), can be associated to any vector or image map layer. In such case, the layer is rendered to the coordinate system provided by the associated .prj file. The proper .prj file naming convention must be followed. The name of the associated .prj file must be as filename.ext.prj . Some examples: file name .prj file name filename.ext filena ... Modified: August 17, 2016 KB10423 - World File and naming convention in TatukGIS products. A World File holds information to georeference (i.e., georegister, register) an associated image file to coordinate values. Because a World File does not contain coordinate system information, it may be paired with a PRJ file containing the coordinate system information. So a World File and .prj file can work together to render an image layer to a coordinate system. (.prj file is described in KB10813 ). TatukGIS products follow generally accepted convention for World File naming, which is First + Last Le ... Modified: August 17, 2016 KB10389 - How to know if an image file is georeferenced. An easy way to determine if an image is georeferenced is to follow these steps: Open the image in the TatukGIS Viewer. Move the mouse cursor to find the pixel at or near the upper-left corner of the image. Check the displayed X/Y coordinate values. If the coordinate values are 0,0 (or close to 0,0), the image file is probably not georeferenced. JPEG, PNG, and BMP image files require a World File (or a TAB registration file) to be georeferenced. (The associated World or TAB file contains the georefere ... Modified: August 16, 2016 KB10876 - Extended Line Symbology Note! The current version of this document is available here .
